Global observed changes in daily climate extremes of temperature and precipitation
Lisa V. Alexander,Lisa V. Alexander,Lisa V. Alexander,Xuebin Zhang,Thomas C. Peterson,John Caesar,Byron E. Gleason,A. M. G. Klein Tank,M. R. Haylock,Dean Collins,Blair Trewin,Fatemeh Rahimzadeh,A. Tagipour,K. Rupa Kumar,J. V. Revadekar,G M Griffiths,Lucie A. Vincent,David B. Stephenson,J. Burn,Enric Aguilar,Manola Brunet,Michael A. Taylor,Mark New,Panmao Zhai,Matilde Rusticucci,J. L. Vazquez-Aguirre +25 more
TL;DR: A suite of climate change indices derived from daily temperature and precipitation data, with a primary focus on extreme events, were computed and analyzed as discussed by the authors, and the results showed widespread significant changes in temperature extremes associated with warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Change in mean temperature as a predictor of extreme temperature change in the Asia–Pacific region
G M Griffiths,Lynda E. Chambers,M. R. Haylock,Michael J. Manton,Neville Nicholls,Hee-Jeong Baek,Youngeun Choi,Paul M. Della-Marta,Ashmita Gosai,N Iga,R Lata,Victoire Laurent,L Maitrepierre,Hiroshi Nakamigawa,Nongnat Ouprasitwong,D Solofa,L Tahani,D T Thuy,Lourdes Tibig,Blair Trewin,Kaliapan Vediapan,Panmao Zhai +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between mean temperature and the frequency of extreme temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean from French Polynesia to Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and southern Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in New Zealand daily temperature and rainfall extremes
M. J. Salinger,G M Griffiths +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, trends in daily temperature and rainfall indices are described for New Zealand and two periods were examined: 1951-1998 and 1930-1998, to ascertain the effects of two main circulation changes that have occurred in the New Zealand region around 1950 and 1976.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in extreme daily rainfall across the South Pacific and relationship to the South Pacific Convergence Zone
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive spatial coverage across the South Pacific was provided, analysing a range of indices of extreme precipitation, which reflect both high rainfall events and drought, in order to assess whether extreme rainfall events have altered in their frequency or magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation and daily temperature extremes in east Asia and the west Pacific
Neville Nicholls,Hee-Jeong Baek,Ashmita Gosai,Lynda E. Chambers,Youngeun Choi,Dean Collins,Paul M. Della-Marta,G M Griffiths,M. R. Haylock,N Iga,R Lata,L Maitrepierre,Michael J. Manton,Hiroshi Nakamigawa,Nongnat Ouprasitwong,D Solofa,L Tahani,D T Thuy,Lourdes Tibig,Blair Trewin,Kaliapan Vediapan,Panmao Zhai +21 more
TL;DR: For example, the authors found that the number of warm nights and hot days increase substantially in the year after the onset of an El Nino event in the east Asia- west Pacific region.
