“…The results of this paper confirm that, due to the long-term trend of global warming, there is a higher chance of dry conditions than of wet conditions [106,107]. This is a critical issue for an agricultural region, such as Calabria, that suffers climate change [108][109][110], which is a major driver of agricultural and meteorological drought. In fact, precipitation and temperature anomalies caused by climate change will induce agro-meteorological drought [111].…”

Stochastic simulators can effectively generate the intrinsic variability of the rainfall process, which is an important issue in the analysis of the projections uncertainties. In this paper, a procedure for stochastic modeling of precipitation at monthly scale is proposed. The model adopts variable transformations, which are finalized to the deseasonalization and the Gaussianization of the monthly rainfall process, and includes a procedure for testing the autocorrelation. The model was applied to a homogeneous database of monthly rainfall values registered in 12 rain gauges in the region of Calabria (Southern Italy). After the estimation of the model parameters, a set of 10 4 years of monthly rainfall for each rain gauge was generated by means of a Monte Carlo technique. Then, dry and wet periods were analyzed through the application of the standardized precipitation index (SPI). Some results, confirmed through the application of the drought severity index (DSI), showed that the proposed model provided a good representation of the monthly rainfall for the considered rain gauges. Moreover, the results of the SPI application indicate a greater probability of dry conditions than wet conditions, especially when long-term precipitation patterns are considered.

“…By contrast, western air currents affect the west side, producing milder temperatures and frequent rainfall. The inland zones show colder winters, with snow and fresher summers [50,51]. Numerous DHEs have caused damages and created victims for several centuries in the region [52][53][54][55][56][57], especially along the east side.…”

A damaging hydrogeological event (DHE) is characterized by two components: a rainfall event and a subsequent damage event, which is the result of floods and landslides triggered by rainfall. The characteristics of both events depend on climatic, geomorphological and anthropogenic factors. In this paper, a methodology to classify the severity of DHEs is presented. A chart which considers indicators of both the damage (Dscore) and the daily rainfall (Rscore) values recorded in the study area is proposed. According to the chart, the events are classified into four types: ordinary events, with low Dscore and Rscore values; extraordinary events, with high Rscore values but low Dscore values; catastrophic events, characterized by non-exceptional rainfall (low Rscore) and severe damage (high Dscore); major catastrophic events, obtained by both high Dscore and Rscore values. Using this approach, the 2013 DHE that occurred in Calabria (Italy) was classified as an ordinary event, when compared to the previous ones, even though the widespread diffusion of damage data induced the perception of high severity damage. The rainfall that triggered this event confirms the negative trend of heavy daily precipitation detected in Calabria, and the damage can be ascribed more to sub-daily than daily rainfall affecting urbanized flood-prone areas.

“…Estos resultados son consistentes con trabajos llevados a cabo a escala regional en otras áreas de estudio, como los desarrollados por Del Río et al (2012), Pellicone et al (2014) y Caloiero et al (2015, así como el trabajo de Hughes (2003) para el caso de Australia desde 1951. El observatorio de Calama, en el interior, no presenta tendencias significativas en ninguna media mensual, lo que evidenciaría el Global Warming Hiatus en las regiones de montaña, coincidiendo con los resultados de Bennett et al (2016), pero no plenamente con Vuille et al (2015), correspondiéndose con el evidente descenso de las temperaturas medias de octubre, noviembre y diciembre en Iquique.…”

“…Numerosos estudios han demostrado que el aumento de las temperaturas puede acelerar e intensificar los ciclos climático e hidrológico, afectando la precipitación global en lo referente a su cantidad y a su intensidad, al régimen de los ríos, a la humedad del suelo y a los balances de evapotranspiración (Labat et al 2004;Zhai et al 2005;Guan et al 2015). El aumento de los valores de temperatura media a lo largo del último siglo ha sido ampliamente demostrado por numerosos estudios en diferentes regiones del mundo, tanto en una escala espacial amplia (Vose et al 2005; Klok y Tank 2009) como a escala local (del Río et al 2012;Pellicone et al 2014;Caloiero et al 2015). En lo que refiere al Pacífico Sur, Salinger (1995) evidenció que las temperaturas máximas y mínimas diarias se han incrementado generalmente en toda el área en los últimos años del siglo pasado.…”

Análisis De Las Temperaturas Medias Y Sus Extremos a Partir De Diferentes Índices Durante El Período 1966-2015 en El Norte Grande Chileno

Según el V informe del Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, el norte de Chile es uno de los territorios que más se verán afectados por los cambios en las dinámicas atmosféricas en los próximos años. Dentro de este contexto general, un pilar capital lo constituyen las temperaturas y las modificaciones que en ella se han venido registrando. Se ha estudiado el comportamiento de las temperaturas de 4 observatorios del norte de Chile. Para detectar posibles tendencias en las series, se ha aplicado el test no paramétrico de Mann-Kendall, en primer lugar, a las temperaturas medias mensuales, y, posteriormente, a 12 índices diferentes calculados a partir de los extremos diarios de temperaturas desde 1966 hasta 2015. Si bien las medias mensuales no muestran unas tendencias claras significativas en el período estudiado, coincidiendo con los estudios que señalan la observación del Global Warming Hiatus, los otros índices de los extremos muestran tendencias significativas (90%), que indican, principalmente, un claro aumento de las temperaturas mínimas, así como una disminución evidente del número de días anuales en los que se registran temperaturas del percentil inferior.Palabras claves: Temperatura media, temperatura extrema, tendencia, Norte Grande, Chile. According to the AR5 from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, northern Chile is one of the most affected region by the next years-changes in the atmospheric dynamics. Within this general context, the temperature and its modifications constitute a capital pillar. The behavior of the temperatures from 4 observatories in northern Chile have been studied. To detect possible trends in the time series, the non-parametrical Mann-Kendall test has been applied to the monthly mean temperatures in a first
