Characterization of Future Caribbean Rainfall and Temperature Extremes across Rainfall Zones
Table 2
Linear trends calculated over 1979–1989 for station observations (OBS) and PRECIS-reanalysis matching points (RMP) for all indices across each zone and the entire Caribbean. Trend values with differences that are statistically significant at the 95% level are in bold and italics. CDD (CWD) is the maximum number of consecutive dry (wet) days; R10 is the annual count of days when precipitation is greater than or equal to 10 mm; R95P is the annual total precipitation when rainfall is greater than the 95th percentile; RX5 is annual highest 5-consecutive-day precipitation (mm); TX90 (TN90) is the percentage of days when maximum (minimum) temperature is greater than the 90th percentile; TX10 (TN10) is the percentage of days when maximum (minimum) temperature is less than the 10th percentile.
