Translated title:
temporal and spatial variability of extreme daily air temperature in Europe
Summary:
The object of this work is double: i) the study of spatial and temporal changes
of maximum and minimum daily temperatures in annual and seasonal level in
Europe with measurements of 237 selected stations for the period 1958-2011, ii)
the comparison of the common behavior of the temperature of the studied
stations of Europe as to the temporal variation of the maximum and minimum
daily temperatures in seasonal level by the method of principal component
analysis. In this study also presented some theory on temperature, climate,
climate change and extreme weather events and described the statistical methods
generally used to study climate change. Further, presented and analyzed changes
over time of the daily maximum and minimum temperature and finally comparing
the common behavior of temperature of the European stations at seasonal level.
