Warm nights (TN90p)
Warm nights (TN90p): annual percentage of days with a minimum temperature (TN) greater than the 90th percentile of the daily TN series for the base period 1981-2010. The unit of measurement is %.
The evolution of TN90p anomaly (ATN90p, difference between the annual value of TN90p and the mean value of TN90p in the reference period 1981-2010) during the period 1959-2020 is shown for the Pyrenees and for 4 areas of the Massif (Northern Pyrenees, Southern Pyrenees, Mediterranean Pyrenees and Atlantic Pyrenees); for each of the 12 series analyzed, the evolution of TN90p index is shown.
The annual mean of TN90p for the Pyrenees is obtained from the annual TN90p values of 12 representative series of the Pyrenees massif (areas at different altitudes and on all slopes: north, south, east or Mediterranean and west or Atlantic), while the mean value of TN90p for the 4 zones of the Massif is obtained from the annual TN90p values of the representative series located in each zone.
