Novel indices for the comparison of precipitation extremes and floods: an example from the Czech territory
2015
Abstract
We proposed three analogous indices that enable to evaluate and to compare the extremity of precipitation events and floods. Precipitation extremes are considered both regardless and regarding of the season.
We present sets of extremes from the period of 1961-2010 in the Czech Republic and demonstrate the fact that the temporal distributions of them are not identical. It shows that not only changes in precipitation extremity but also in their seasonality could produce changes in flood extremity.
