Maximum 2- and 5- day precipitation totals in Slovakia in 1951–2010 period

Year, pages: 2018, 3 - 10

In the thesis, that is based on content of author’s master’s thesis (Markovič, 2017), we deal with study of the maximum 2 and 5-day atmospheric precipitation totals in Slovakia in the period 1951–2010 in terms of their spatial and temporal distribution Our goal was to create basis for dynamic-climatological analysis of those synoptic situations, which leads to occurrence of extreme multi-day rainfall situation. In Slovakia, have been already previously processed general studies that dealt with multi-day rainfall totals (Lapin., at al. 2004), however, due to the limited number of precipitation stations with processed maximum multi-day precipitation totals and time-consuming process of obtaining this data, only limited set of precipitation stations with authentic data was used in these studies. In our thesis was used newly created set of maximum 2 to 5-day precipitation totals from 486 precipitation stations owned and operated by Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ), which were observing in the period 1951–2010 and their time series meets requirements of completeness and consistency.
