| Zusammenfassung |
| Extreme-temperature events have consequences for human health and mortality,
forest disturbance patterns, agricultural productivity, and the economic
repercussions of these consequences combined. To gain insight into whether
extreme-temperature events are changing in light of global climate dynamics,
the annual numbers of high-temperature days (those with temperatures higher
than 20, 22.5, and 25 °C at 850 hPa) were analyzed across southern Europe from
the years 1978 to 2012. A significant increase in the frequency of these days was
found in many areas over the time period analyzed, and patterns in the
spatial distribution of these changes were identified. We discuss the
potential consequences of the increases in high-temperature days with
regards to forest fire risk, human health, agriculture, energy demands, and
some potential economic repercussions. |
