While the changes in both the mean and
higher order statistical moments (e.g., variance)
of time - series
of climate variables affect the frequency
of relatively simple extremes (e.g., extreme
high daily or monthly
temperatures, damaging winds), changes in the frequency
of more complex extremes are based on changes in the occurrence
of complex atmospheric phenomena (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms).
In particular, the report authors predicted that with climate change there would be an increase in certain types
of extreme weather, including
daily high temperatures, heat waves, heavy precipitation and droughts, in some places.
Springtime cold air outbreaks (at least two consecutive days during which the

higher temperatures, longer growing seasons, and elevated CO2 concentrations could be offset by increased freeze damage.20 Heat waves during pollination
of field crops such as corn and soybean also reduce yields (Figure 18.3).4 Wetter springs may reduce crop yields and profits, 21 especially if growers are forced to switch to late - planted, shorter - season varieties.

It seems like the best thing to do would be to measure the difference between the measurement

The use
of these one - second extrema (rather than averaging over one minute) will contribute, however, to more record
high daily maxima
temperatures — this is for sure.

of summer precipitation more reliably than the global model, its
daily high temperature predictions for the future are also believed to be more accurate,» added co-author Leonard Druyan, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University.
