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
Human contribution to more-intense precipitation extremes
TL;DR: It is shown that human-induced increases in greenhouse gases have contributed to the observed intensification of heavy precipitation events found over approximately two-thirds of data-covered parts of Northern Hemisphere land areas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address changes in weather and climate events relevant to extreme impacts and disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and floods, which can lead to extreme conditions or impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A review of gridding indices of extremes can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the obstacles to robustly calculating and analyzing indices and the methods developed to overcome these obstacles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in Total Precipitation and Frequency of Daily Precipitation Extremes over China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper assessed trends in annual and seasonal total precipitation and in extreme daily precipitation, defined as those larger than its 95th percentile for the year, summer, and winter half years, have been assessed for the period 1951-2000.
