We analyze century‐long daily temperature and precipitation records for stations in Europe west of 60°E. A set climatic indices derived from the series, mainly focusing on extremes, is defined. Linear trends these are assessed over period 1901–2000. Average trends, 75 mostly representing 20°E, show a warming all indices. Winter has, average, warmed more (∼1.0°C/100 yr) than summer (∼0.8°C), both maximum (TX) minimum (TN) temperatures. Overall, TX winter was stronger warm tail cold (1.6 1.5°C...
Understanding the impacts of climate change on key economic sectors is essential for developing effective adaptation strategies. The tourism sector in Croatia, a country with diverse climatic regions, particularly sensitive to changes variables such as air temperature and precipitation. This study aims analyze period 1961–2023 across different regions including Varaždin (representing Northern Continental Croatia), LičkoLešće (Mountain region),...
Abstract The famous Bora and Scirocco winds blow along the eastern coast of Adriatic Sea, prevailing during colder part year. Sea land breezes, as well Etesians , are also rather frequent, but they prevail warmer seasons. There some other less known wind types in this region. This paper deals with application an objective procedure for classification all field patterns, regardless names. For purpose, a complex principal component analysis technique has been applied. Time series instantaneous...
Abstract Homogeneity of the mean annual air temperature values at 2 m above ground for 22 stations in Croatia, period 1961–2000, is considered. The standard normal homogeneity test (SNHT) has been applied this purpose, detecting both abrupt and gradual linear trend breaks. For a group lower‐rank weather (poorer data quality), results indicating inhomogeneity are sometimes difficult to explain. It shown that breaks multiannual averages not higher than 0.5 °C, which could influence natural...
The study addresses homogeneity testing of annual discharge time series for eight hydrological stations and five climate one weather station in the Kupa River Basin, between Slovenia Croatia, global average surface temperature period 1961–2010. standard normal test (SNHT) was used to detect both abrupt gradual linear trend breaks. results reveal natural change points at beginning 1980s. Absolute station-level air pressure, precipitation, differences precipitation totals potential...
Abstract Using the principal component method, some characteristics of precipitation pattern are established for an area from Adriatic Sea to Pannonian lowland (territory Croatia). The data monthly amounts 20‐year period (1961–1980) 108 meteorological stations used. first four components (PCs), which describe 79‐4 per cent total field variance, considered. It is shown, graphically and numerically, that PC related frequency cyclones on van Beber's paths IVb, Vb Vc, second one their Vd, Vd1...
The main goal of the study is to establish a relation- ship between monthly precipitation and discharge fields over karstic Cetina river basin situated on eastern Adriatic coast (Croatia). For that purpose principal component analysis (PCA) Cetina's time series (1961–1985) data was used. In addition, European sea-level pressure were examined. results indicate existence high correlation in area considered, except for hydrological stations closely below Peruća lake where human influence...
<title>Abstract</title> An analysis of characteristics the boreal summer season June-July-August (JJA) measured daily maximum 2-m air temperatures (BSSDMATs) and associated heat waves (HWs) for 1961–2018 was conducted three locations on Croatian Adriatic coast representing its northern (Rijeka), middle (Split) southern extents (Dubrovnik). Larger values occurred in second part period (1990–2018) compared to first (1961–1989), including significant (α = 0.01) trends mean seasonal averages...
Abstract Ten-day self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (scPDSI) has been computed, based on observed 10-day mean air temperature, relative humidity and precipitation totals, as a parameter of drought impact grain yield 32 market leading maize hybrids in 2017 2018 over 8 experimental locations Pannonian part Croatia. In addition, time series the same climate variables for closest “official” weather stations Croatian Meteorological Hydrological Service (DHMZ) period 1981-2018 have...
Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive consideration of the annual pattern monthly discharge, precipitation, and water balance in Kupa river basin (Yugoslavia). For this purpose principal component analysis (PCA) was applied. The discharge values for 25 streamflow measurement stations corresponding precipitation data 18 weather stations, period 1961–1980, were used. each considered fields, two components (PCs) are most significant, describe more than 85 per cent total field variance.
