Comparation of two climate methodologies on Lerma Chapala basin: Moving mean and climate variability indices with RClimDex

The objective of this study is the comparation of two climate methodologies with the next variables, average maximum and minimum temperatures, and precipitation, said another way, it was calculated by two different methods, the moving mean and climate change indices with complements of R software (RClimDex and RhTest) on Lerma Chapala basin, which is located. The data were analyzed for representative periods of 30 years since 1960 to 2016, which, were collected from National Water Commission due to compiling with control qualify. Finally, the results will help for supporting international climate variability report and demonstrated that independently the methodology the results are similar, it means, the select variables showed modifications through the time that causing drier environments. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
