Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze the trends in five annual extreme indices of temperature for Utah, USA. The analyses were conducted for 28 meteorological stations, during the period from 1970 to 2006, characterized by high quality data set. The analyses of extreme temperature indices have identified an increase in the maximum and minimum air temperatures in Utah. Predominantly, the minimum air temperature is increasing in the studied region. Most of Utah has shown a decrease in the diurnal temperature range, which indicates that the minimum temperature is increasing faster than the maximum temperature.O principal objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as tendências de cinco índices anuais de extremos de temperatura para Utah, EUA. As análises foram feitas para 28 estações meteorológicas, durante o período de 1970 a 2006, sendo caracterizado como uma série de dados confiáveis. As análises dos índices extremos de temperatura identificaram um aumento nas temperaturas máximas e mínimas em Utah. As temperaturas mínimas estão aumentando, predominantemente, sobre a região estudada. A maior parte de Utah apresentou diminuição na amplitude térmica diária, que é um indicativo de que as temperaturas mínimas têm aumentado mais rápido do que as temperaturas máximas.
