Summary
Abstract: The Climate Extremes Index (CEI) is a study prepared by and available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The CEI was first presented in 1995 as a framework for quantifying observed changes in climate within the contiguous United States. The index is based on an aggregate set of conventional climate extreme indicators which now includes extremes in land- falling tropical storm and ... View entire text
