- Abstract:
- Changes in the frequency, intensity and duration of rainfall and temperature extremes (such as high rainfall events, droughts and heatwaves) over the second half of the last century, defined using an internationally recommended set of indicator series, will be investigated for three Mediterranean study regions: the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Greece. The potential causes of the observed changes in extremes will be explored, focusing on changes in large-scale and regional circulation indices, measures of atmospheric humidity and stability and mean surface temperature. Finally, the extent to which the observed changes in extremes are consistent with simulated projections of anthropogenic climate change will be explored.
