Univariate Statistics of the RCPs Forced ET–SCI Based Extreme Climate Indices Over Pakistan

Abstract: Numerical summaries of univariate climatic records, such as temperature and precipitation, are useful for making quantitative decisions for mitigation and adaptation measures. Climate simulations and projections often contain values that lie far away from substance of the data. These values can bias the summary statistics away from values representative for majority of the sample. This problem can be avoided by selecting ensembles approach as well as by using statistics that are resistant to the presence of su… Show more

“…The climatic mean annual temperature and precipitation in the Peshawar region from 1980-2018 is 22.25°C and 817 mm, respectively (Ahmad et al, 2023;Burhan et al, 2021). During the research period, the minimum temperature experienced was 3°C (January 2021), while the maximum was 37.2°C (May 2021).…”

“…Pakistan borders with the India and the Arabian Sea in the east, Afghanistan and Iran in the west, and China in the north (Figure 1). The climate of Pakistan is very diverse in terms of temperature (Burhan et al, 2021). One side of it is mostly arid to semiarid, followed by warm summers and icy winters with extreme temperature variations.…”

“…Pakistan is known to be vulnerable to climate change. The geographical variation is such that glacial areas of the north, including the Himalayas, the Karakorum, and the Hindu Kush mountains (6000+ m height) bear average temperature less than zero℃ (Burhan et al, 2015;Burhan et al, 2020), while the other low latitude regions have an average temperature above than 25℃ (Riaz et al, 2020;Burhan et al, 2021). Extreme temperature conditions pose a threat to population -climate change adds to these threats (Fand et al, 2012;Hanna et al, 2011).…”

“…Climate change is also the main problem for water reservoirs in Pakistan, where diverse climate patterns have prevailed (Ali et al, 2009;Burhan et al, 2020). The higher altitude of Hindukush and Himalayan mountains supplies half of the freshwater reservoirs through snow and melting ice.…”
