The article Changes of Extreme\u00a0Climate Events in Latvia<\/i> by\u00a0Zanita Avotniece<\/a>1<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Maris Klavins<\/a>1<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Valerijs Rodinovs<\/a>1<\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>focuses on the topic of the recognizably increasing climate, specifically in Latvia, and the effects the changes have on human health, agriculture, forestry, and other categories. All elements of the climate system, including: air\/water temperatures, precipitation, river runoffs, ice and snow cover, and many others, are affected by the change in climate. \u00a0Reports have shown that near the surface of the Earth, their have\u00a0been significant worldwide increase in mean temperature, suggesting\u00a0that climate is changing. Characteristics of climate change not only include changes in mean values, but also changes in the variability of climate indicators and extremes.(extreme heat events and heat waves, extreme precipitation, floods…). This article investigates the changes of indexes describing\u00a0positive and negative temperature extremes together with\u00a0intense precipitation as well as the structural change in extreme climate phenomenons in Latvia. The accurate data gathered by this investigation showing the climate fluctuations in a small nation in Europe, I think will be interesting to some people interested in climate change. I myself was interested in the information and data shown by the investigation, especially about the extreme climate events impact on agriculture and human health.<\/p>\n

Data was gathered by using trend analysis of long-term changes in the frequency of extreme climate events. Another form of data collected was Climate Data collected daily by 14 major meteorological observation stations in Latvia. Variable data, which included maximum\/minimum and average daily temperatures and daily precipitation, was collected by Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre, and weather stations between years 1950-2010. Assessment of the impacts and occurrence of the climate event was done through the investigation of changes of indexes in Latvia.<\/p>\n
