TITLE = {Indices for daily temperature and precipitation extremes in Europe

MONTH = NOV,
ABSTRACT = {We analyze century-long daily temperature and precipitation records
for stations in Europe west of 60 degrees E. A set of climatic indices
derived from the daily series, mainly focusing on extremes, is defined.
Linear trends in these indices are assessed over the period 1901-2000.
Average trends, for 75 stations mostly representing Europe west
of 20 degrees E, show a warming for all temperature indices. Winter
has, on average, warmed more (similar to 1.0 degrees C/100 yr) than
summer (similar to 0.8 degrees C), both for daily maximum (TX) and
minimum (TN) temperatures. Overall, the warming of TX in winter
was stronger in the warm tail than in the cold tail (1.6 and 1.5
degrees C for 98th and 95th, but similar to 1.0 degrees C for 2nd,
5th and 10th percentiles). There are, however, large regional differences
in temperature trend patterns. For summer, there is a tendency for
stronger warming, both for TX and TN, in the warm than in the cold
tail only in parts of central Europe. Winter precipitation totals,
averaged over 121 European stations north of 40 degrees N, have
increased significantly by similar to 12% per 100 years. Trends
in 90th, 95th and 98th percentiles of daily winter precipitation
have been similar. No overall long-term trend occurred in summer
precipitation totals, but there is an overall weak (statistically
insignificant and regionally dependent) tendency for summer precipitation
to have become slightly more intense but less common. Data inhomogeneities
and relative sparseness of station density in many parts of Europe
preclude more robust conclusions. It is of importance that new methods
are developed for homogenizing daily data.},

measurements},

VOLUME = {19},

MONTH = SEP,
ABSTRACT = {To be confident in the analyses of long-term changes in daily climate
extremes, it is necessary for the data to be homogenized because
of nonclimatic influences. Here a new method of homogenizing daily
temperature data is presented that is capable of adjusting not only
the mean of a daily temperature series but also the higher-order
moments. This method uses a nonlinear model to estimate the relationship
between a candidate station and a highly correlated reference station.
The model is built in a homogeneous subperiod before an inhomogeneity
and is then used to estimate the observations at the candidate station
after the inhomogeneity using observations from the reference series.
The differences between the predicted and observed values are binned
according to which decile the predicted values fit in the candidate
station's observed cumulative distribution function defined using
homogeneous daily temperatures before the inhomogeneity. In this
way, adjustments for each decile were produced. This method is demonstrated
using February daily maximum temperatures measured in Graz, Austria,
and an artificial dataset with known inhomogeneities introduced.
Results show that given a suitably reliable reference station, this
method produces reliable adjustments to the mean, variance, and
skewness.},

JOURNAL = {Journal Of Climate},
YEAR = {2006},
VOLUME = {19},

MONTH = JUN,
ABSTRACT = {The development of a daily historical European-North Atlantic mean
sea level pressure dataset (EMSLP) for 1850-2003 on a 5 latitude
by longitude grid is described. This product was produced using
86 continental and island stations distributed over the region 25
degrees-70 degrees N, 70 degrees W-50 degrees E blended with marine
data from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data
Set (ICOADS). The EMSLP fields for 1850-80 are based purely on the
land station data and ship observations. From 1881, the blended
land and marine fields are combined with already available daily
Northern Hemisphere fields. Complete coverage is obtained by employing
reduced space optimal interpolation. Squared correlations (r(2))
indicate that EMSLP generally captures 80%-90% of daily variability
represented in an existing historical mean sea level pressure product
and over 90% in modern 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather
Forecasts Re-Analyses (ERA-40) over most of the region. A lack of
sufficient observations over Greenland and the Middle East, however,
has resulted in poorer reconstructions there. Error estimates, produced
as part of the reconstruction technique, flag these as regions of
low confidence. It is shown that the EMSLP daily fields and associated
error estimates provide a unique opportunity to examine the circulation
patterns associated with extreme events across the European-North
Atlantic region, such as the 2003 heat wave, in the context of historical
events.},

ABSTRACT = {The numbers of warm nights and hot days, across most of the east Asia
- west Pacific region, increase substantially in the year after
the onset of an El Nino event. The number of cool days and cold
nights tend to decrease, although the relationship with El Nino
is weaker for these variables. The relationship is confounded, for
warm nights and hot days, by a strong increasing trend in the numbers
of extremes not matched by a trend in the El Nino. Removal of this
trend leads to even stronger correlations with the El Nino. Strong
correlations exist between some of the extremes indices and an index
of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation in months prior to the occurrence
of the extremes, indicating that predictions of the frequency of
extreme temperatures across the region should be feasible.},

JOURNAL = {International Journal Of Climatology},

PAGES = {1301--1330},
NUMBER = {10},
MONTH = AUG,
ABSTRACT = {Trends (1961 -2003) in daily maximum and minimum temperatures, extremes
and variance were found to be spatially coherent across the Asia-Pacific
region. The majority of stations exhibited significant trends: increases
in mean maximum and mean minimum temperature, decreases in cold
nights and cool days, and increases in warm nights. No station showed
a significant increase in cold days or cold nights, but a few sites
showed significant decreases in hot days and warm nights. Significant
decreases were observed in both maximum and minimum temperature
standard deviation in China, Korea and some stations in Japan (probably
reflecting urbanization effects), but also for some Thailand and
coastal Australian sites. The South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ)
region between Fiji and the Solomon Islands showed a significant
increase in maximum temperature variability. Correlations between
mean temperature and the frequency of extreme temperatures were
strongest in the tropical Pacific Ocean from French Polynesia to
Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and southern
Japan. Correlations were weaker at continental or higher latitude
locations, which may partly reflect urbanization. For non-urban
stations, the dominant distribution change for both maximum and
minimum temperature involved a change in the mean, impacting on
one or both extremes, with no change in standard deviation. This
occurred from French Polynesia to Papua New Guinea (except for maximum
temperature changes near the SPCZ), in Malaysia, the Philippines,
and several outlying Japanese islands. For urbanized stations the
dominant change was a change in the mean and variance, impacting
on one or both extremes. This result was particularly evident for
minimum temperature. The results presented here, for non-urban tropical
and maritime locations in the Asia-Pacific region, support the hypothesis
that changes in mean temperature may be used to predict changes
in extreme temperatures. At urbanized or higher latitude locations,
changes in variance should be incorporated. Copyright (c) 2005 Royal

ABSTRACT = {Mean annual maximum temperatures increased across nearly all of Australia
during the 20th century. The major exception was in parts of central
and eastern New South Wales where mean maximum temperatures decreased
somewhat. Variations in mean maximum temperatures in New South Wales
are strongly (negatively) associated with rainfall variations. Temperatures
in New South Wales decreased very rapidly in the space of a few
years in mid-century, and this decrease was associated with a similarly
rapid rainfall increase. Since the middle of the century, mean maximum
temperatures have increased, largely independent of any rainfall
change. In the early 1970s mean maximum temperatures increased sharply,
unaccompanied by any decrease in rainfall. The simultaneity of the
rainfall increase and temperature decrease in mid-century suggests
that this was a 'natural' fluctuation. The absence of a substantial
decrease in rainfall accompanying the warming of the last few decades
suggests that another process may be affecting the temperature.
One candidate for this would be the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Changes in the frequency or intensity of the El Nino - Southern
Oscillation do not appear to be able to account for either the mid-century
cooling or the late century warming.},

NUMBER = {2},
MONTH = JUN,
ABSTRACT = {An updated and improved version of the Australian high-quality annual
mean temperature dataset of Torok and Nicholls (1996) has been produced.
This was achieved by undertaking a thorough post-1993 homogeneity
assessment using a number of objective and semi-objective techniques,
by matching closed records onto continuing records, and by adding
some shorter duration records in data-sparse regions. Each record
has been re-assessed for quality on the basis of recent metadata,
resulting in many records being rejected from the dataset. In addition,
records have been re-examined for possible urban contamination using
some new approaches. This update has highlighted the need for accurate
and complete station metadata. It has also demonstrated the value
of at least two years of overlapping observations for major site
changes to ensure the homogeneity of the climate record. A total
of 133 good-quality, homogenised records have been produced. A non-urban
subset of 99 stations provides reliable calculations of Australia's
annual mean temperature anomalies with observation error variances
between 15 and 25 per cent of the total variance and decorrelation
length scales greater than the average inter-station separation.},

ABSTRACT = {A new global dataset of derived indicators has been compiled to clarify
whether frequency and/or severity of climatic extremes changed during
the second half of the 20th century, This period provides the best
spatial coverage of homogenous daily series, which can be used for
calculating the proportion of global land area exhibiting a significant
change in extreme or severe weather. The authors chose 10 indicators
of extreme climatic events, defined from a larger selection, that
could be applied to a large variety of climates. It was assumed
that data producers were more inclined to release derived data in
the form of annual indicator time series than releasing their original
daily observations. The indicators are based on daily maximum and
minimum temperature series, as well as daily totals of precipitation,
and represent changes in all seasons of the year. Only time series
which had 40 yr or more of almost complete records were used, A
total of about 3000 indicator time series were extracted from national
climate archives and collated into the unique dataset described
here. Global maps showing significant changes from one multi-decadal
period to another during the interval from 1946 to 1999 were produced.
Coherent spatial patterns of statistically significant changes emerge,
particularly an increase in warm summer nights, a decrease in the
number of frost days and a decrease in intra-annual extreme temperature
range. All but one of the temperature-based indicators show a significant
change. Indicators based on daily precipitation data show more mixed
patterns of change but significant increases have been seen in the
extreme amount derived from wet spells and number of heavy rainfall
events. We can conclude that a significant proportion of the global
land area was increasingly affected by a significant change in climatic
extremes during the second half of the 20th century. These clear
signs of change are very robust; however, large areas are still
not represented, especially Africa and South America.},

ABSTRACT = {Trends in extreme daily temperature and rainfall have been analysed

38-year period was chosen to optimize data availability across the
region. Using high-quality data from 91 stations in 15 countries,
significant increases were detected in the annual number of hot
days and warm nights, with significant decreases in the annual number
of cool days and cold nights. These trends in extreme temperatures
showed considerable consistency across the region. Extreme rainfall
trends were generally less spatially coherent than were those for
extreme temperature. The number of rain days (with at least 2 mm
of rain) has decreased significantly throughout Southeast Asia and
the western and central South Pacific, but increased in the north
of French Polynesia, in Fiji, and at some stations in Australia.
The proportion of annual rainfall from extreme events has increased
at a majority of stations. The frequency of extreme rainfall events
has declined at most stations (but not significantly), although
significant increases were detected in French Polynesia. Trends
in the average intensity of the wettest rainfall events each year
were generally weak and not significant. Copyright (C) 2001 Royal

are reviewed, with emphasis given to the tropical Pacific Ocean
and the Australian region. A second successive cool phase in the
equatorial Pacific reached maturity by mid-summer. The atmosphere
lagged, with an enhanced Walker circulation reaching its peak by
the end of summer. A large pool of warmer than normal water remained
in the western equatorial Pacific. In the Australian region, warm
SSTs surrounded most of the continent, the only exception being
parts of the east coast. Very warm SSTs were located along, and
to the southwest of the Western Australian coast. Centres of anomalously
high mean sea-level pressure were well south of their climatological
positions, with Australia dominated by moist monsoonal northerly
flow. Areas of cyclonicity developed off both the northwest and
northeast coasts throughout summer. These were most marked in the
west in December, and in the northeast later in the season. In general,
wet and cool conditions occurred over most of the continent. The
Australian average summer rainfall was the third highest on record,
surpassed only by the distinctly wet mid-1970s La Nina events. Western
Australia experienced its wettest summer on record and during the
1990s has recorded four out of the ten wettest summers on record.

is used to determine trends in these indices, generally over the
period 1957 to 1996. Indices investigated include measures of the
frequencies of daily maximum and minimum temperatures above and
below fixed temperature thresholds, as well as frequencies above
and below specified percentile levels. Trends in consecutive days
and nights of extreme temperature are also considered. These trends
indicate that occurrences of warm temperature extreme events have
generally increased over the investigation period, whilst numbers
of extremely cool temperature events have decreased. The trends
are particularly strong for indices based on minimum temperature,
with many statistically significant at the 95 per cent confidence
level. Some of the trends display considerable regional variation.
Examples of this are a downward trend in the frequency of warm extremes
in parts of the far southeast, counter to the national trend, and
an especially strong decrease in the frequency of relatively cool
days along the east coast. A number of measures of daily temperature
variability are also examined with many records showing significant
declines for these indices. These trends may provide the first evidence
of decreases in intraseasonal temperature variability consistent
with those observed over large parts of the northern hemisphere
landmass.},

ABSTRACT = {A high-quality dataset developed to monitor long-term temperature
trends in Australia has been updated. The annual mean time-series
indicates that in 1998 Australia recorded its highest ever annual
mean temperature since the start of the high-quality record in 1910,
The largest contribution to the record temperature came from much
higher than usual minimum temperatures throughout the northern half
of the continent. High-quality rainfall and cloud cover datasets
have also been updated. Greater than average cloud cover during
1998 contributed to milder overnight temperatures and generally
wetter than average conditions through most of the country. The
result of a warm, wet and cloudy year during 1998 is unusual in
the instrumental record for Australia as studies of interannual
climate variations indicate that mean temperature is generally out
of phase with both rainfall and cloud cover. However, these apparent
inconsistencies support the suggestion made by previous studies
that the relationship between Australian temperature and rainfall
changed abruptly during the early 1970s.},
