Table 1
Five extreme climate indices calculated based on daily temperature and precipitation data.
Indicator name
Indicator definition (unit: days)
FEP
Let be the daily precipitation on day of year , and let be the calendar day 90th percentile centered on a 5-day window for the base period 1961–1990. Frequency of extreme precipitation (FEP) in year is the annual count of days when .
FWD
Let be the daily maximum temperature on day of year , and let be the calendar day 90th percentile centered on a 5-day window for the base period 1961–1990. Frequency of warm days (FWD) in year is the annual count of days when .
FWN
Let be the daily minimum temperature on day of year , and let be the calendar day 90th percentile centered on a 5-day window for the base period 1961–1990. Frequency of warm nights (FWN) in year is the annual count of days when .
FCD
Let be the daily maximum temperature on day of year , and let be the calendar day 10th percentile centered on a 5-day window for the base period 1961–1990. Frequency of cold days (FCD) in year is the annual count of days when .
FCN
Let be the daily minimum temperature on day of year , and let be the calendar day 10th percentile centered on a 5-day window for the base period 1961–1990. Frequency of cold nights (FCN) in year is the annual count of days when .
