• the ETCCDI developed an internationally coordinated set of climate indices
• core set consists of 27 descriptive indices for moderate extremes
• focus on counts of days crossing a threshold; either absolute/fixed thresholds or percentile/variable thresholds relative to local climate
• used for both observations and models, globally as well as regionally
• can be coupled with – simple trend analysis techniques– standard detection and attribution methods
• complements the analysis of more rare extremes using EVT

• organised together with the Asian Pacific Network (APN)
• goals:– contribute to worldwide indices database– build capacity to analyze observed changes in extremes– improve information services on extremes in the region– publish a peer-reviewed paper from each workshop

Detection / Attribution work
![Page 22: Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) started in 1999 jointly sponsored by CCl, CLIVAR and JCOMM.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492bb0f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• effects of external forcings on changes in:– global and regional surface air temperatures– hydrological cycle (precipitation in latitudinal bands)– cryosphere (Arctic sea ice-extent)– etc.
• some detection results for anthropogenic signal in observed changes in extremes (using ETCCDI indices RX1day and RX5day)
• see: Stott et al., WIREs Clim Change, 2010, 1, 192-211.

Future
![Page 24: Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) started in 1999 jointly sponsored by CCl, CLIVAR and JCOMM.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492bb0f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• indices:– review current suite with a view to further improvement– assemble and maintain near global datasets of indices– improve delivery to users
• regional workshops:– continue to host (e.g. in WMO/World Bank series)– maintain standardized software
• IPCC:– contribute to IPCC-SREX and AR5 (extremes will be a focus)– post-process CMIP5 output for indices (plus software)– diagnostic studies based on indices (WG1 and WG2 relevance)

Challenges
![Page 26: Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) started in 1999 jointly sponsored by CCl, CLIVAR and JCOMM.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492bb0f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• indices:– additional indices in worldwide set (marine, drought, monsoon?)– more application relevant indices to better support adaptation– updating indices problematic for many regions (better liaise with
regional panels? GCOS regional workshops? RCOFs?)
• daily data:– assembling worldwide datasets which are integrated, quality
controlled, and open accessible (Surfacetemperatures.org)– tension between traceability (access to the primary sources)
and data completeness (use whatever available)
![Page 27: Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) started in 1999 jointly sponsored by CCl, CLIVAR and JCOMM.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492bb0f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• detection / attribution:– how best to identify external influences on extremes– ability of models to adequately simulate extremes– scaling issues of extremes in point vs gridded data– event attribution
• ETCCDI:– manage expectations (small team, limited capacity)– keep the team focused (as well as open for new directions)
![Page 28: Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) started in 1999 jointly sponsored by CCl, CLIVAR and JCOMM.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492bb0f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• ECA&D develops and implements additional indices, e.g. snow cover, drought (SPI, PET) and wind indices
• full updates provided every month (as part of RCC for Region VI)
• website, database and processing software is openly available for use in other regions of the world– our gridding technique is used in Mexico and S. America– our portal has been implemented for S.E. Asia
(Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines)
