Correlation Between the Extreme Climate Indices and the AMO Index in Northern Algeria
Advances in Science, Technology and Innovation, 2018Extreme climate events often have serious impacts on society, water resources, health and agriculture. Actually, several scientists tend to characterize these extreme phenomena by the use of extreme climatic indices. However, the analysis of teleconnection between these climate extremes indices and the indices of atmospheric oscillations is very useful

European Extreme Events Climate Index (E3CI)
2023The European Extreme Events Climate Index (E3CI) is an innovative climate service (operational since January 2021) to assess the frequency and severity of weather-induced hazards over Europe. This service has been funded by Foundation Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Human Development (IFAB) and developed through the collaboration between ...

A Revised U.S. Climate Extremes Index
Journal of Climate, 2008Abstract A revised framework is presented that quantifies observed changes in the climate of the contiguous United States through analysis of a revised version of the U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI). The CEI is based on a set of climate extremes indicators that measure the fraction of the area of the United States experiencing extremes

Satellite climate extremes index of drylands
Arid Ecosystems, 2012A satellite index for detecting climate extremes, such as droughts and overhumification after heavy precipitation in drylands has been suggested, i.e., a Satellite Climate Extremes Index. The Satellite Climate Extremes Index represents summed deviations from the long-term average values of the albedo, the surface temperature, the soil moisture and the ...

The winter St. Helena climate index and extreme Benguela upwelling
Journal of Marine Systems, 2005Abstract Climate changes in the subtropical South-east Atlantic turn out to be well described by the St. Helena Island Climate Index (HIX) and observed fluctuations are in good agreement with inter-decadal variability of the entire South Atlantic Ocean. Year-to-year variations of the averaged austral winter HIX (July–September), representative of the

Analysis of Universal Thermal Climate Index in Croatia for extreme events
2023Due to global warming, extreme events increase in frequency and intensity. One of those extreme events are cold and heat waves which affect people causing increased mortality and morbidity. Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) must organize and ensure early warnings of heat and cold waves to reduce the risk and protect the population.

A Climate Extremes Resilience Index for the Conterminous United States
Weather, Climate, and SocietyAbstract In recent decades, changes in precipitation, temperature, and air circulation patterns have led to increases in the occurrences of extreme weather events. These events can have devastating effects on communities causing destruction to property and croplands, as well as negative impacts on public health.

LOSSES CAUSED BY WEATHER AND CLIMATE EXTREMES: A NATIONAL INDEX FOR THE UNITED STATES
Physical Geography, 2001An annual index measuring past national losses and capable of measuring future loss from weather and climate extremes was developed to help measure future shifts in climate, a subject of great concern to the global warming issue and the insurance industry.

Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events in Latin America: An Exposure Index
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013Climate change is changing the frequency and intensity of Extreme Weather Events (EWEs), particularly in poor developing countries, and the international community is increasingly suggesting the design of adaptation funds to resolve this situation. Measures of vulnerability and exposure to EWEs are a critical instrument in guaranteeing a transparent ...
