Short Summary

This study aims to characterize extreme spring rainfall in the Tangier region in March 2024, analyzing its atmospheric drivers, associated flood risks, and impacts on water resources and agriculture.

Objective

• To examine the climatic conditions and various atmospheric conditions responsible for extreme precipitation recorded in the Tangier region in March 2024.
• To analyze the risks posed by these extreme precipitation events in terms of flooding and property damage.
• To examine the positive and negative impacts of this exceptional period on water resource mobilization and the agricultural sector.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Two cities in the Tangier region: Tangier and Chefchaouen, Morocco.
• Temporal Scale: Spring 2024, particularly March, with return periods determined using data from 1976-2024.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not explicitly stated as models, but analytical techniques include:
  • Dynamic approach to explain synoptic situations, weather types, and climatic conditions.
  • Analytical approach to analyze rainfall series.
  • Gumbel method to determine return periods of precipitation.
• Data sources: Rainfall series (implied observational data), focusing on total monthly precipitation and daily maximums.
