Zusammenfassung |
A 44-year (1958–2001) homogeneous Mediterranean
high-resolution atmospheric database was generated through dynamical
downscaling within the HIPOCAS Project framework. The present work attempts
to provide a validation of the monthly 41-autumnal (1961–2001) HIPOCAS
precipitation over the Iberian Peninsula, being also provided an evaluation
of its improvement versus current global reanalysis data sets. A statistical
comparative analysis between observed, HIPOCAS and global reanalyses
precipitation data sets was carried out, highlighting the noticeable
agreement existing between the observed and the HIPOCAS precipitation data
sets in terms of not only time and spatial distribution, but also in terms
of total amount of precipitation. A principal component analysis is carried
out showing that the patterns derived from the HIPOCAS data largely capture
the main characteristics of the studied field. Moreover, it is worth to note
that the HIPOCAS patterns reproduce accurately the observed regional
characteristics linked to the main orographic features of the study domain. |
