The analysis of extreme events and other statistical values plays an important role in the context of climate change.
To support this investigations, SGA provides data and tools.
A set of statistical indicators like mean or accumulated values for different time periods (daily, monthly, yearly, 30-year climate reference) and certain climate indices are in preparation and will be provided along with the data via the WDCC data base.
The following table shows the climate indices under preparation. The indices refer to each calendar year and are computed according to the recommendations (see Indices dictionary) of the CLIVAR expert group. On behalf of SGA, the appropriate statistical tools will be implemented as CDO routines and will be made available as soon as possible.
The 30-year climate reference values will be prepared for the model parameters 2m-temperature and total precipitation amount for the reference periods 1961-1990, 2031-2060 and 2071-2100, respectively. Other periods and parameters may be processed on user request.
| Temperature indices | Precipitation indices | Other indicators |
|---|---|---|
| frost days,frost days where no snow, ice days, summer days, tropical nights | wet days,heavy precipitation days,very heavy precipitation days(> 1,10,20 mm/day) | wind chill temperature |
| consecutive frost days,consecutive summer days,heating degree days | consecutive dry days,consecutive wet days | strong breeze days,strong gale days,hurricane days (> 10.5, 20.5,32.5 m/s) |
| several temperature indices with respect to given percentile of climate reference period | several precipitation amount indices with respect to given percentile of climate reference period | |
| heat wave duration index,cold wave duration index,warm spell days,cold spell days | highest 1 day precipitation amount,highest 5 day precipitation amount | |
| intra period extreme temperature range,growing season length | simple daily intensity index |
