Comparison of the temporal variability of summer temperatures, rainfall and streamflows in southern
Quebec during the 1950-2010 period
Anthony Pothier-Champagne, Vincent Maloney-Dumont and Ali A Assani
University of Quebec, Canada
We have analyzed the summer daily temperatures (maximum, minimum and mean), rainfalls and streamflows (from
June to September) measured at 25 stations distributed regularly throughout southern Quebec (Canada) during the
1950-2010 period by means of the Mann-Kendall, Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient and Lombard methods. 60% of
the stations analyzed are characterized by a significant increase in the daily minimum temperature. This proportion falls to
52% for the daily mean temperatures and 30% for the daily maximum temperatures. The Lombard method revealed that this
increase mainly occurred during the 1990s. At most stations, this increase is gradual. However, this temperature rise had very
little effect on rainfalls (increase of less than 20%) and streamflows (increase of less than 15%).
Biography
Anthony Pothier-Champagne is currently a Master's level student in Environmental Sciences at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières. He is working on The
Niño/La Niña impact on hydro-climatic variables of Québec (Canada). He has already presented a communication at an international conference. Vincent Maloney-
Dumont is in its first year of Masters in Environmental Sciences at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières. He works on the temporal variability of hydro-climatic
variables in the southern Quebec. Ali Assani has completed his PhD at the age of 35 years from Liège University (Belgium) and Postdoctoral studies from Montreal
University (Canada). He has published more than 50 papers in reputed journals.
