Diurnal temperature range over Europe between 1950 and 2005
It has been widely accepted that diurnal temperature range (DTR) decreased on a global scale during the second half of the twentieth century. Here we show however, that the long-term trend of annual DTR has reversed from a decrease to an increase during the 1970s in Western Eu-rope and during the 1980s in Eastern Europe. The analysis is based on the high-quality dataset of the European Climate ...

متن کاملRecent Changes in the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation Over the United States
Hourly precipitation data from 1963 to 1993 of the contiguous United States were analyzed for secular trends in the diurnal cycle of precipitation. During the period the winter daytime and nighttime precipitation frequencies and the diurnal amplitude of precipitation frequency increased by ∼30−47% over the Southwest, while the winter precipitation frequencies and the diurnal amplitude of precip...
متن کاملObserved and model-simulated diurnal cycles of precipitation over the contiguous United States
We analyzed diurnal variations in precipitation, surface pressure, and atmospheric static energy over the United States from observations and NCAR regional climate model (RegCM) simulations. Consistent with previous studies, the mean (1963-1993) pattern of the diurnal cycle of summer U.S. precipitation is characterized by late afternoon maxima over the Southeast and the Rocky Mountains and midn...
