Time series of EmCEI Climate Extremes Index components and subcomponents

The EmCEI is a combined temperature and precipitation extremes index, measuring the percentage area experiencing "extreme conditions" across five components. "Extreme conditions" is defined as above the 90th percentile or below the 10th percentile. The five components are maximum temperature, minimum temperature, total annual precipitation, heavy precipitation and wet and dry days. These components are calculated from the so-called "ETCCDI indices".Each individual component is made of two sub-components, corresponding to upper and lower tail extremes respectively. Here we provide the time series of these components and sub-components making up the EmCEI for Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Northern Hemisphere.
