Abstract
Abstract. It is a matter of current study to determine potential
climate changes in different parts of the world, especially in regions like
a basin which has the potential to affect socioeconomic and environmental
issues in a defined area. This study provides a comparison between several
climate change indices trends of two very different basins in Mexico, one
located in the northern arid region (the Conchos River basin) and the other
in the southern humid area (the Usumacinta River basin). First, quality
control, homogenization, and completion of the missing data were applied
before calculating the climate change indices and their respective trends
for the combined period 1961–1994. A clear warming signal was found for the
two basins in addition to an increment in the DTR, in agreement with other
studies in Mexico. Also, the Conchos River basin was found to be more humid
and the Usumacinta River basin drier, in accordance to a supposed seesaw
behavior indicated in previous analysis.
