As an intrinsic feature of daily surface air temperature (SAT) variability found in station
measurements, temporal asymmetry (TA) can be taken as an evaluation metric to access the …

The variability of air temperature extremes exerts a great influence on agricultural production
and the global hydrologic cycle. It has been the focus of attention for the past several …

As one of the most important indicators of nonlinear time series, temporal asymmetric (TA) or
temporal irreversible behaviors of daily fluctuations from four temperature variables …

Two approaches of statistical downscaling were applied to indices of temperature extremes
based on percentiles of daily maximum and minimum temperature observations at Beijing …

Changes in temperature variability can have more serious social and ecological impacts
than changes in the mean state of temperature, especially when they are concurrent with …

In the context of global warming, the impact of summer high temperature events is
increasing. The accumulated summer high temperature is often used to reflect the overall …

The abrupt temperature change (ATC) and warming hiatus (WH) phenomena impact global
resources and the environment. However, information on the spatial and temporal variability …

The persistent temperature and precipitation extremes may bring damage to the economy
and human due to their intensity, duration and areal coverage. Understanding the quality of …

The traditional anomaly (TA) reference frame and its corresponding anomaly for a given
data span changes with the extension of data length. In this study, the modulated annual …

Record-breaking hot and cold extremes have occurred in China in recent years and,
therefore, it is compelling to investigate the long-term trend in temperature extremes at …
