Extreme indices used
Extreme indices were derived from IPCC models (IPCC web site) and from observations in South America [based on Frich et al. 2002, Vincent et al. 2005, Haylock et al. 2005)]
![Page 4: “Comparisons Between Observed And Modeled Precipitation And Temperature Extremes In South America During The XX Century (Ipcc 20c3m). Part I: Mean, Variability.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d805503460f94a649fd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Objective: • how IPCC global models simulate climate
extreme indices over South America.
• we compare simulated indices with station data
indices, for 1961-2000
– Mean– Standard Deviation and – Mean Square Error:
• diff between the nearest station to the grid point.

Summary• GFDL better reproduces Fd mean and interanual
variability.• Tn90 is the best modeled extreme.• CDD interannual variability is better represented
by MIROC but mean by CCSM3• R10 is well modeled.• Days over threshold (R10) are better
represented than precip amount (R5d)• Southeastern South America Temperature
extremes are best modeled by GFDL and precip by CCSM3 and MIROC.
