Trends in extreme daily precipitation and temperature near Lake Hovsgol, Mongolia
- Analyzes a long-term (1963–2002) set of daily maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation data for the Hövsgöl Basin area in Mongolia
- Examines six indices of extreme temperature and eight indices of extreme precipitation
- Results suggest that climate conditions over northern Mongolia are changing as indicated by a warming trend identified during the study period
- Detects significant increases in the annual number of hot days and warm nights in this region
- Finds that, associated with these changes, are concomitant decreases in the annual number of cold days and cold nights
- Finds that the number of days with precipitation has increased slightly while the annual total precipitation has not significantly increased in northern Mongolia
- Finds that there was no significant decrease on average in the maximum number of consecutive dry days or increase in the wet days, while the 5-day precipitation total showed a small increase
