| Zusammenfassung |
| Daily Precipitation Concentration Index (CI) was used in this paper to investigate the statistical structure of
daily precipitation across Europe based on 530 daily rainfall series for the period 1971–2010. Annual CI shows a North-West
to South-East gradient (excluding Turkey and Greece). The same gradient is also observed in winter, spring and autumn,
while in summer the gradient is North-South. Highest annual and seasonal daily concentrations of rainfall were detected
in the western Mediterranean basin, mainly along Spanish and French coastlands. Latitude and distance from the sea seems
to play a major role on spatial CI distribution; at subregional scale also relief plays an important role.
The Mann–Kendall test did not identify uniform significant pattern in temporal trend across Europe for 1971–2010 period.
The only broad areas with increasing annual and seasonal CI values are located in northern and south-western
France and northern coastlands of the Iberian Peninsula. This findings suggest that daily precipitation distribution
has not significantly changed during the 1971–2010 over Europe. |
