| An attempt is made to study the extreme precipitation characteristics, which
are related to the mid-latitude cyclonic systems. Daily pluviometric data,
from several stations across the continental Europe and the British Islands,
are used. The covered time-period is from 1958 to 2000. Only extreme
precipitation events related to mid-latitude cyclonic systems are studied,
since thermal thunderstorm episodes are being excluded. To accomplish that,
summer months are excluded and a strict criterion for identifying the exact
episodes is set, which also defines the episode itself and the extremity of
it. A decreasing trend in the cases of extreme precipitation of the European
continent was found. It starts in the mid 60's and continues until the mid
70's. After that and until the end of the examined period, no significant
trend was found. Seasonality of extreme precipitation cases and episodes is
also studied. October and November are the two months that present the
higher frequencies of such cases and episodes. In general, autumn months
indicate the higher percentages of extreme precipitation, with winter and
spring months to follow. |
