Zusammenfassung |
The main objective of the present study was the examination and the
quantification of the uncertainties in the precipitation time series over
the Greek area, for a 42-year time period. The uncertainty index applied to
the rainfall data is a combination (total) of the departures of the rainfall
season length, of the median data of the accumulated percentages and of the
total amounts of rainfall. Results of the study indicated that all the
stations are characterized, on an average basis, by medium to high
uncertainty. The stations that presented an increasing rainfall uncertainty
were the ones located mainly to the continental parts of the study region.
From the temporal analysis of the uncertainty index, it was demonstrated
that the greatest percentage of the years, for all the stations time-series,
was characterized by low to high uncertainty (intermediate categories of the
index). Most of the results of the uncertainty index for the Greek region
are similar to the corresponding results of various stations all over the
European region. |
