Trends in extreme temperature over Nigeria from percentile‐based threshold indices

Trends of Extreme Temperature Over the Lake Urmia Basin, Iran, During 1987-2014

The variability of temperature extremes has been the focus of attention during the past several decades and had a great influence on the hydrologic cycle. A long-term, high-quality daily maximum (TX) and minimum temperature (TN) of seven stations was used to determine the spatial and temporal characteristics of extreme temperature events in Lake Urmia Basin in Iran during 1987 to 2014. The RCli...

Jp1.15 Detected Trends in Extreme Temperature and Precipitation Indices in the Central/eastern European Region

Drought events in a particular region often occur in case of long-term lack of precipitation coinciding with hot weather. Global climate change implies increasing global mean temperature (IPCC, 2001), which may occur due to the increasing average and the modified frequency distribution of temperature values. The main objective of our research is to detect the possible changes of intensity and f...

Changing Trends and Abrupt Features of Extreme Temperature in Mainland China from 1960 to 2010

Studies based on the 10th (90th) percentiles as thresholds have been presented to assess moderate extremes in China and globally. However, there has been notably little research on the occurrences of high extremes of warm days and hot days (TX95p and TX99p) and cold nights and very cold nights (TN05p and TN01p), based on the 95th and 99th (5th and 1st) percentiles of the daily maximum (minimum)...

Comparative assessment between historical and future trends in the daily maximum temperature parameter over selected stations of Iran

Objective of this study is to determine whether there are significant changes in maximum temperature trends between the current (1981-2010) and future (2011-2099) periods. To this end, statistical downscaling is used to project future changes in the maximum temperatures according to A2 and B2 scenarios of HADCM3 in the 7 selected stations of Iran. The possibilities of an accelerating trend are ...
