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

  1. Data quality control: Inhomogeneous data caused by station migration or instrument changes need to be eliminated
  2. Parameter optimization: It is recommended to use the Bootstrap method to verify the stability of GEV parameters
  3. 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
