Abstract
This chapter introduces statistical indices that have been used to quantify the past changes in weather and climate extremes. These indices can also be used to assess changes in future extremes as projected by climate models. We also present examples in which the influence of anthropogenic climate change has been identified on extreme daily temperature, extreme daily precipitation, and the probability of occurrence for a specific extreme event.
