For every SACA&D station, a total of
43 indices have been calculated. Each index describes a particular
characteristic of climate change (both changes in the mean and the
extremes). A core set of
21 indices follows the definitions recommended by the CCl/CLIVAR/JCOMM Expert
Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (
ETCCDI
). These indices are calculated in a similar way for other regions of the
world. An additional set of
22 indices highlights particular characteristics of climate change in
Southeast Asia.
To learn more about the meaning and the way each index is calculated see
the
Indices dictionary.
The menu below allows you to view time series plots for each index and
station, to view maps of trends over Southeast Asia for each index, to
view maps of index anomalies (with respect to the normal period 1961-1990)
for a particular year or season, or to view climatology maps. Every item
of the menu offers the option to download the results; the last item is
for bulk download.
