Abstract:Climate extreme indices —-encompassing absolute values,
percentile-based, and spell indices—- are analyzed over Spain during
1951-2020 using daily precipitation (PR), maximum and minimum
temperatures (TX and TN) from the AEMET high-resolution dataset. The
indices focus on the frequency, intensity, and duration of extremes.
A general warming trend is detected in absolute values and in a longer
persistence of warm spells. While the changes are clearer in TN- than in
TX-based frequency indices, their sign and… Show more
