Description for Improved Understanding of Past Climatic Variability from Early Daily European Instrumental Sources
Hardback. Reports the data and the metadata of the seven longest European series of temperature and pressure observations, dating back to the 18th century. This book provides an opportunity to study climate change starting prior to the period of the industrial era. It includes a CD-ROM and is useful for meteorologists, climate and environmental scientists. Editor(s): Camuffo, D.; Jones, P. D. Num Pages: 392 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBKC; RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 875.
Climate can be defined as an ensemble of many weather phenomena. Clima tologists often use the mean (conventionally the monthly and annual mean) of weather-related parameters to describe climate. The mean value, however, is not all the climate. Climatic changes might occur if certain aspects of the distribution of extreme values change, while the mean does not. Katz and Brown (1992), for example, show from a theoretical viewpoint that in a changing climate, extreme values are determined more by changes in variability than changes in the mean. Possible changes in extreme event frequency receive considerable attention along with the global ... Read more
