abstract = "A workshop on enhancing climate change indices in South America
was held in Maccio. Brazil, in August 2004. Scientists from eight
southern countries brought daily climalological data from their
region for a meticulous assessment of data quality and
homogeneity, and for the preparation of climate change indices
that can be used for analyses of changes in climate extremes. This
study presents an examination of the trends over 1960-2000 in the
indices of daily temperature extremes. The results indicate no
consistent changes in the indices based on daily maximum
temperature while significant trends were found in the indices
based on daily minimum temperature. Significant increasing trends
in the percentage of warm nights and decreasing trends in the
percentage of cold nights were observed at many stations. It seems
that this warming is mostly due lo more warm nights and fewer cold
nights during the summer (December-February) and fall (March
-May). The stations with significant trends appear to be located
closer to the west and east coasts of South America. Reprinted by
