Trends and Changes in Hydroclimatic Variables: Links to Climate Variability and Change

Trends and Changes in Hydroclimatic Variables: Links to Climate Variability and Change provides an extensive treatment of change detection and trend analysis methods useful for assessment of hydroclimatic variables in changing climate. Changes and trends in hydroclimatic variables are discussed and assessed using state-of-the-art methods, such as nonlinear trend estimation methods (which includes spline smoothing and local regression) along with methods for handling persistence (or serial auto-correlation in data) for assessing trends in different hydroclimatic variables (e.g. pre-whitening methods). This book provides an up-to-date presentation of a variety of techniques in a field that has been evolving very rapidly along with case studies to provide real life examples and problem solving techniques. Trends and Changes in Hydroclimatic Variables focuses not only on the trends but also the evaluation of methods for change points (points where time series characteristics change) and methods for evaluating non-homogeneity in time series. This is the only book to cover the subject of climate variability and change in such a great level of detail, including changes on precipitation, streamflow, and sea levels. Deals with statistical methods for trend analysis, providing an excellent reference book for scholars, scientists, students and professionals to refer to the state-of-the-art methods in trend analysis and change detectionAn exhaustive treatment of several hydroclimatic variables in one book, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of changes in hydroclimatic variables over time and spacePresents case studies dealing with changes in hydroclimatic variables in different geographical regions of the worldFocuses on climate variability and change, including an extensive assessment of trends and their associated links to climate variability and change INDICE: 1.
