For example, freezing rain, which results in ice storms, is not represented in climate models, but frequencies of daily minimum
temperatures on wet days might serve as useful surrogate variables (Konrad, 1998).

wet ground is additionally cooled by evaporation (Figure 2).
UKCIP08 will provide a statistical «weather generator,» which will allow users to see what daily (or even hourly) sequences of weather could look like at specified locations, given changes in basic aspects of climate such as average
temperature, frequency of dry
days, and average precipitation
on wet days.
