Detectability of anthropogenic changes in annual temperature and precipitation extremes
This paper reports on a study of temperature and precipitation indices that may be suitable for the early detection of anthropogenic change in climatic extremes. Anthropogenic changes in daily minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation over land simulated with two different atmosphere-ocean general circulation models are analyzed. The use of data from two models helps to assess which cha...
متن کاملContributions of natural and anthropogenic forcing to changes in temperature extremes over the United States
[1] Observations averaged over the U.S. for the second half of the 20th century have shown a decrease of frost days, an increase in growing season length, an increase in the number of warm nights, and an increase in heat wave intensity. For the first three, a nine member multi-model ensemble shows similar changes over the U.S. in 20th century experiments that combine anthropogenic and natural f...
متن کاملChanges in Temperature and Precipitation Extremes in the IPCC Ensemble of Global Coupled Model Simulations
Temperature and precipitation extremes and their potential future changes are evaluated in an ensemble of global coupled climate models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) diagnostic exercise for the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Climate extremes are expressed in terms of 20-yr return values of annual extremes of near-surface temperature and 24-h precipitatio...
متن کاملRecent Changes in Temperature and Precipitation Extremes in an Ecological Reserve in Federal District, Brazil
The main objective of this study is to provide information on trends, in local scale, using records of daily temperature and precipitation of a single weather station in an ecological reserve of the savanna biome in Federal District/Brazil, analyzing different extreme climatic indices. The extreme temperature indices have identified that the days are getting warmer and the nights are cooler at ...
متن کاملProjecting changes in regional temperature and precipitation extremes in the United States
Regional and local climate extremes, and their impacts, result from the multifaceted interplay between large-scale climate forcing, local environmental factors (physiography), and societal vulnerability. In this paper, we review historical and projected changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in the United States, with a focus on strengths and weaknesses of (1) commonly used definitio...
