✦ Synopsis

Revised results from an extreme winter minimum temperature study in Catalonia (NE Spain) are presented. The Jenkinson formulation is applied assuming several alternatives. First, data is ranked from the least to the most extreme or from low to high values. Second, parameters of the Jenkinson formulation are estimated by means of likelihood analysis and usual least square criteria. As a general feature the revised results suggest that both the ranking options and the estimation procedures should lead to the same prediction of extreme temperatures when data quality is good enough. Predicted extreme temperatures for Catalonia, according the least square criteria, were slightly lower than those derived by means of likelihood procedure. Nevertheless, only marked discrepancies are detected for two thermometric gauges belonging to the Central Basin of Catalonia and for return periods of 5, 10 and 25 years.
