Tóm tắt

A statistical study was made of the temporal trend in extreme temperatures in the region of Extremadura (Spain) during the period 1981–2015 using a Regional Climate Model. For this purpose, a Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Regional Climate Model extreme temperature dataset was obtained. This dataset was then subjected to a statistical study using a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal model with a Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) parametrization of the extreme data. The Bayesian model was implemented in a Markov chain Monte Carlo framework that allows the posterior distribution of the parameters that intervene in the model to be estimated. The role of the altitude dependence of the temperature was considered in the proposed model. The results for the spatial-trend parameter lend confidence to the model since they are consistent with the dry adiabatic gradient. Furthermore, the statistical model showed a slight negative trend for the location parameter. This unexpected result may be due to the internal and modeling uncertainties in the WRF model. The shape parameter was negative, meaning that there is an upper bound for extreme temperatures in the model.
