| Zusammenfassung |
| More intense rainfall may cause a range of negative impacts upon society and
the environment. In this study we analysed trends in extreme ETCCDI (Expert
Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices) rainfall indices in Montenegro
for the period between 1951 and 2010. Montenegro has been poorly studied in
terms of rainfall extremes, yet it contains the wettest Mediterranean region
known as Krivošije. Several indices of precipitation extremes were
assessed including the number of dry days and rainfall totals in order to
identify trends and possible changes. A spatial pattern relationship between
extreme rainfall indices and the North Atlantic Oscillation has also been
examined. The results generally suggest that the number of days with
precipitation decreased while rainfall intensity increased, particularly in
south-western parts of the country. A slight tendency towards intense
rainfall events is suggested. The examined rainfall indices and North
Atlantic Oscillation over Montenegro seemed to be directly linked to changes
in one of the major large-scale circulation modes such as the NAO pattern
that is particularly evident during the winter season. |
