Abstract

O principal objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as tendências anuais em nove índices extremos de temperatura para Idaho, EUA. As análises foram feitas para 35 estações meteorológicas para o período de 1970 a 2006, caracterizado por uma série longa e confiável. O software utilizado no processamento dos dados foi o RClimdex 1.0. As análises dos índices extremos de temperatura identificaram aumento nas temperaturas do ar máximas e mínimas em Idaho. A temperatura mínima teve um aumento predominante sobre a região estudada. A maior parte de Idaho apresentou diminuição na amplitude térmica diária, o que indica que a temperatura mínima está aumentando mais rápido que a máxima.
