| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper, the spatial and temporal distribution of
the daily precipitation concentration index (CI) in Algeria (south
Mediterranean Sea) has been assessed. CI is an index related to the rainfall
intensity and erosive capacity; therefore, this index is of great interest for
studies on torrential rainfall and floods. Forty-two daily rainfall series
based on high-quality and fairly regular rainfall records for the period
from 1970 to 2008 were used. The daily precipitation CI
results allowed the identification of three climate zones: the northern country,
characterized by coastal regions with CI values between 0.59 and 0.63; the
highlands, with values between 0.57 and 0.62, except for the region of
Biskra (CI = 0.70); and the southern region of the country, with high
rainfall concentrations with values between 0.62 and 0.69. |
