Abstract. Drought events and their impacts vary spatially temporally due to diverse pedo-climatic hydrologic conditions, as well variations in exposure vulnerability, such demographics response actions. While hazard severity frequency of past drought have been studied detail, little is known about the effect management strategies on actual how perceived by relevant stakeholders. In a continental study, we characterised assessed perceptions two recent (2018 2019) Europe examined relationship...
State-of-the-art climate models project a substantial decline in precipitation for the Mediterranean region future1. Supporting this notion, several studies based on observed data spanning recent decades have suggested decrease precipitation2–4, with some attributing large fraction of change to anthropogenic influences3,5. Conversely, certain researchers underlined that exhibits considerable spatiotemporal variability driven by atmospheric circulation patterns6,7 maintaining stationarity...
This study performs a systematic analysis of the recent and future changes dry spells (DS) in Croatia. DS are defined as consecutive sequences days with daily precipitation less than 5 mm precipitation-per-day threshold (DS5). Daily data come from dense national rain gauge network (covering seven regions) span period 1961–2015. The spatial temporal observed mean (MDS5) maximum (MxDS5) seasonal annual were analysed by means Kendall tau method partial trend method. Future DS5 assessed...
Several periods of drought in the 21st century have severely affected large parts Europe and caused considerable economic losses, particularly agricultural energy sectors. While rainfall deficits are one main causes droughts, high temperatures summer months exacerbate their development, which can devastating consequences. This was case 2022, when long dry spells were accompanied by several heat waves. In this study, climatological monitoring using Standardized Precipitation...
Drought directly and indirectly affects human society in a number of ways.In many regions the world climate change will exasperate effects droughts, affect national economies more intensely.The main aim this article was to catalogue analyze drought impacts 11 Central South Eastern European states located Danube river basin.The identification dry episodes based on information from publicly available sources, namely, newspaper journal articles that reported impacts.Information impact...
The PannEx is a GEWEX-initiated, community driven research network in the Pannonian Basin. One of main scientific issues to address investigation precipitation extremes. Meteorological Services area collected hourly data and commonly used computer program, which was developed INTENSE project, produce set global hydro-climatic indices. Calculations are carried out on aggregated 1-, 3- 6-h intervals. Selected indices analyzed this paper assess general climatology short-term basin. following...

Abstract The spatiotemporal characteristics of mean and maximum dry spells (DSs) in Croatia were analysed through general climatology the return values associated with different periods. An analysis was performed across seven regions precipitation regimes comprising data from 131 meteorological stations for 1961–2015. Daily limits 1, 5, 10 mm used to define days, DSs defined as consecutive series days. Generalized extreme value (GEV) generalized Pareto (GP) distributions applied DS annual...
The climatic loads should be considered in the structural design and construction of greenhouses to ensure their overall stability durability. snow load (SL), defined as weight on a surface area per square meter, is particularly important because it can cause structure collapse consequently significant economic damages. Characteristic for different constructions usually 50 years, however, greenhouse structures are designed shorter periods. classification based European standard EN...
<p>Observed changes in the seasonal and annual air temperature precipitation amounts, corresponding indices of extremes Croatia are analysed. Daily data from 1961-2020 period employed at 37 climatological stations (mean extreme temperatures) 164 rain gauge (precipitation amounts) operated by Croatian Meteorological Hydrological Service. The trends estimated using linear regression statistical significance is tested Mann-Kendall test. results revealed a consistent warming trend...
Several droughts during the last decade seriously affected large parts of Europe, including Croatia, causing significant economic losses, particularly in agriculture and energy sectors. Though rainfall is main driver drought, high temperatures summer months may intensify its development with devastating consequences. Such was case 2022 when long dry spells were accompanied by several heat waves. In this study, climatological drought monitoring Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration...
