Introduction
Interpretation of the core content of the standard
This standard defines three major monitoring indicators of extreme high temperature: extreme daily high temperature (≥95 percentile), consecutive high temperature days (≥35℃ consecutive days) and return period (GEV model calculation). The climate standard period uses the last three consecutive decades (such as 1981-2010) to construct 60 sample sequences.
Comparison of key technologies
| Indicator type | Calculation basis | Extreme threshold | Data requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extreme daily high temperature | Daily maximum temperature | 95th percentile | 20-20 observed data |
| Number of consecutive high temperature days | Number of consecutive days with ≥35℃ | ≥2 days | Continuous complete sequence |
| Recurrence period | GEV distribution | Location/scale/shape parameters | Extreme Value Sequence |
Technical Analysis of GEV Model
The generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) describes extreme events through the location parameter (ξ), scale parameter (α) and shape parameter (κ):
- When κ=0, it is a Gumbel distribution (exponential decay)
- When κ>0, it is a Frechet distribution (heavy-tailed characteristic)
- When κ<0, it is a Weibull distribution (bounded extreme value)
In actual application, the 50-year return period of the extreme high temperature event (41.1℃) in Beijing in 2013 was calculated by GEV, and the parameter estimation used the L-moment method to reduce small sample errors.
Implementation recommendations
- Data quality control: Inhomogeneous data caused by station migration or instrument changes need to be eliminated
- Parameter optimization: It is recommended to use the Bootstrap method to verify the stability of GEV parameters
- Threshold calibration: When there are large regional climate differences, the percentile (such as 90 or 98) can be adjusted
Standard evolution analysis
Compared with QX/T 50-2007, this standard innovatively introduces:
- The concept of dynamic climate standard period (updated every 10 years)
- Probability-based extreme event judgment framework
- Internationally accepted GEV calculation method
