Downscaling Extremes: a Comparison of Extreme Value Distributions in Point-source and Gridded Precipitation Data By
There is substantial empirical and climatological evidence that precipitation extremes have become more extreme during the twentieth century, and that this trend is likely to continue as global warming becomes more intense. However, understanding these issues is limited by a fundamental issue of spatial scaling: most evidence of past trends comes from rain gauge data, whereas trends into the fu...
متن کاملProbability Estimates of Extreme Temperature Events: Stochastic Modelling Approach vs. Extreme Value Distributions
The paper deals with the probability estimates of temperature extremes (annual temperature maxima and heat waves) in the Czech Republic. Two statistical methods of probability estimations are compared; one based on the stochastic modelling of time series of the daily maximum temperature (TMAX) using the first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) model, the other consisting in fitting the extreme value ...
متن کاملبررسی اثر تغییر اقلیم بر روند نمایه های حدی بارش ایران زمین
Global changes in extremes of the climatic variables that have been observed in recent decades can only be accounted anthropogenic, as well as natural changes. Factors are considered, and under enhanced greenhouse gas forcing the frequency of some of these extreme events is likely to change (IPCC, 2007 Alexander et al., 2007). Folland et al. (2001) showed that in some regions both temperature a...
متن کاملModeling Stream Flow Extremes under Non-time- Stationary Conditions
This paper provides information on extreme value modeling of stream flow extremes from three rivers in the New York City Metropolitan Area using generalized extreme value distribution (GEV). GEV parameters including location, scale, and shape are analyzed to get an appropriate minimum window size for stationary conditions, and then the time series analysis of GEV parameters are performed by usi...
متن کاملAnalyzing Seasonal to Interannual Extreme Weather and Climate Variability with the Extremes Toolkit
Statistical analyses in weather and climate variability studies have often been concerned with averages of a random variable, such as mean precipitation or temperature. However, the extremes of random variables are important to consider, and have become increasingly studied in recent years (e.g., Wettstein and Mearns (2002) (hereafter, WM), Brown and Katz (1995), Zwiers and Kharin (1998), Khari...
