Río et al. (2010) Spatial distribution of recent rainfall trends in Spain (1961–2006)
This study characterizes daily extreme winter precipitation events at 20 Mediterranean coastal sites from 1950-2006 using Extreme Value Theory, revealing their significant contribution to seasonal totals and identifying associated large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns. The findings enhance the understanding of cold season precipitation extremes and their atmospheric drivers in the Mediterranean.
