This thesis has investigated changes in the frequency of extreme cold and hot tails in the probability distributions (percentile indices) of minimum and maximum temperature events over the Western Cape and Eastern Cape for the period 1960-2005. The focus was to determine whether the changes in hot and cold tails (extreme tails) showed any trends or variability. The data used in this thesis are from 12 high quality observing weather stations over the two regions. 2014-08-13T19:49:21Z 2014-08-13T19:49:21Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6490 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
