Description:
Persistence of Cold Extremes Duration in the twenty‐first century. The Cold Extremes Duration (CED) is computed for each grid as the annual maximum of consecutive frost days (i.e., days when the minimum nighttime temperatures falls below zero degree Celsius). The CED number, decadal model comparisons and bias scores are computed in an identical manner as the CEI discussed in Figure 1.
