The TEmperature-dependent Non-Asymptotic statistical model for eXtreme return levels (TENAX).

A parsimonious non-stationary and non-asymptotic theoretical framework that incorporates temperature as a covariate to estimate changes in precipitation return levels.

 

Differences with respect to version 1.1:
- event_separation_dry_spell.m is updated to handle time series that have missing years.

Differences with respect to version 1.2:
- fixed a bug in event_separation_dry_spell.m

Differences with respect to version 1.3:
- TNX_associate_vars.m was updated for efficiency (the function runs now 5-6x faster). This version also sorts a problem with the rounding of times (now times are rounded down always); this may cause minor differences with respect to the previous version. Thanks to Petr Vohnicky for writing and testing this updated function.

 

"Section" and "Figure" in the code refer to the paper by Marra et al. (2024), where the TENAX model is described:

The model code is provided with an example of modeling the precipitation return levels for the Aadorf station in Switzerland, reproducing the figures presented in the manuscript.

 

Matlab codes run using Matlab 2021b, Matlab 2023a, Matlab 2024a
