  8. Station De Bilt (The Netherlands) warm nights cold nights

  9. Observed trends (days per decade)for 1951 to 2003 Alexander et al., J.Geophys.Res., 2006

  10. 3x 6x Day-count indices of extremes Relation between relative trend bq/X required for 80% detection probability (5% level) and series length N for extreme events with average return period Tret Source: Klein Tank and Können, J. Climate, 2003

  11. Geostrophic winds based on pressure triangles; blue circles are 95th and red crosses 99th percentiles (standardized units) updated from: Alexandersson et al., Climate Res., 2000

  12. Wind study the Netherlands 1962-2002 Smits, Klein Tank, Können, Int.J.Climatol., 2005

  13. Observed trends for 1962-2002

  14. Annual precipitation Netherlands

  15. 2) Determine fraction of total precipitation in each year that is due to these days 3) Trend analysis in series of fractions Precipitation fraction due to very wet days 1) Identify very wet days using a site specific threshold = 95th percentile at wet days in the 1961-90 period

  23. KNMI will soon present new climate change scenarios for the Netherlands, which replace the WB21 scenarios from 2000: 29 May 2006 THANKS ! htpp://eca.knmi.nl http://www.knmi.nl/scenarios mailto: Albert.Klein.Tank @ KNMI.nl
