A suite of climate change indices derived from daily temperature and precipitation data, with
a primary focus on extreme events, were computed and analyzed. By setting an exact …

Indices for climate variability and extremes have been used for a long time, often by assessing
days with temperature or precipitation observations above or below specific physically‐…

An extreme (weather or climate) event is generally defined as the occurrence of a value of a
weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) …

Heatwaves are important climatic extremes in atmospheric and oceanic systems that can
have devastating and long-term impacts on ecosystems, with subsequent socioeconomic …

Executive Summary. The evidence of climate change from observations of the atmosphere
and surface has grown significantly during recent years. At the same time new improved ways …

Intensification of the hydrological cycle is expected to accompany a warming climate 1 , 2 . It
has been suggested that changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation will amplify …

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) first attempted a global assessment
of long-term changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in its Third Assessment …

We present the Met Office Hadley Centre's sea ice and sea surface temperature (SST) data
set, HadISST1, and the nighttime marine air temperature (NMAT) data set, HadMAT1. …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have been observed around the world and are expected to
increase in intensity and frequency under anthropogenic climate change. A variety of impacts …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can cause devastating impacts to marine life. Despite the serious
consequences of MHWs, our understanding of their drivers is largely based on isolated …
