| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper analyses the behaviour of five rainfall indicators (maximum
intensity, cumulative rainfall, irregularity, probability of rain and
persistence of rain) over different observation timescales ranging from
5 min to 24 h. It covers a large area on the Mediterranean side of the
Iberian Peninsula (River Júcar Water Authority, 43 000 km2) on a
continuous basis over a period of 14 years (1994–2007). The results show
that the behaviour of extreme Mediterranean rainfall is heavily dependent on
the observation timescale. There are a number of turning points in the
indicator trends which occur on different timescales (1 and 6 h in
the case of rain intensity and irregularity, 6 h for cumulative rainfall
and between 15 and 30 min for the persistence of rain) and may be
relevant for the determination of thresholds used in water management. |
