| description | This study investigates the influence of atmospheric circulation in the
Mediterranean region on the precipitation in Montenegro. Nine precipitation
parameters have been used in the analysis and the relationship has been
investigated by the Mediterranean and West Mediterranean Oscillation change
index (MO and WeMO). According to a 60 - year observed period (1951-2010),
the research results show that nothing characteristic happens with seasonal
and annual precipitation sums because the trend is mainly insignificant.
However, precipitation extremes are getting more extreme, which corresponds
with a general idea of global warming. Negative consequences of daily
intensity increase and frequency of precipitation days above fixed and
percentile thresholds have been recorded recently in the form of torrents,
floods, intensive erosive processes, etc., but it should be pointed out that
human factor is partly a cause of such events. The estimate of the influence
of teleconnection patterns primarily related to the Mediterranean Basin has
shown that their variability affects the observed precipitation parameters on
the territory of Montenegro regarding both seasonal and annual sums and
frequency and intensity of extreme events shown by climate indices. |
