| Zusammenfassung |
| The analysis of the links between the extreme precipitation and the
associated atmospheric conditions through an aloft circulation type approach
at the 500-hPa geopotential level, for the time period of 1958–2000, is the
main motivation for the present study. Four stations in the eastern
Mediterranean (17.5° E to 37.5° E and 30° N to 40° N) were
selected as separate case studies. The extreme precipitation conditions were
defined by the two most widely used indices: the 90th and 95th
percentiles. It was found that two cyclonic types (C – with its centre over
the station and Cwsw – with its centre at the WSW of the station) were
mainly associated with extreme rainfall conditions for all the selected
stations. Generally, these circulation types are deepening during days with
extreme precipitation in comparison to the general mean field of the type. |
