Η επίδραση της κλιματικής αλλαγής στις θερμοκρασίες της Ν. Ευρώπης και τους κλιματικούς δείκτες για την περίοδο 1980-2019 = The impact of climate change on the temperatures of S. Europe and the climate indices for 1980-2019 period.
Περίληψη
Interest in climate change and the changes it brings about is growing bigger and bigger. The main objective of this study was to investigate the variation in the frequency of 4 climate indices, associated with the minimum air temperature, in 13 stations, located in southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, during 1980-2019. The selected climate indices are: “Frost” days (frequency of days with Tmin<0ο C, FD), “Tropical” nights (frequency of days with Tmin>20ο C, TR20), “Cold” nights (percentage of days with Tmin <10th percentile, TN10p) and “Warm” nights (percentage of days with Tmin>90th percentile, TN90p). Two statistical methods were used to analyze the results of the indices on annual basis: linear regression and change point detection (Change Point Analyzer, CPA). Both methods aimed at identifying statistically significant trends of the selected indices in the reference period. The results with the two approaches were compared to each other to identify the degree of agreement/disagreement between them. The study concluded that both methods complement each other. A substantial increase of the minimum air temperature in the Mediterranean region was identified as a result of the upward trends in the frequency of “Frost” days and “Cold” nights (statistically significant in one and 4 stations, respectively) and the downward trends in the frequency of “Tropical” and “Warm” nights (statistically significant 11 and 12 stations, respectively).
