Observed trends in indices of daily temperature extremes in South America 1960-2000
A workshop on enhancing climate change indices in South America was held in Maceió, Brazil, in August 2004. Scientists from eight southern countries brought daily climatological data from their region for a meticulous assessment of data quality and homogeneity, and for the preparation of climate cha...

A workshop on enhancing climate change indices in South America was held in Maceió, Brazil, in August 2004.
