Evaluation of precipitation extremes and floods and comparison between their temporal distributions

Original language description

We proposed three analogous extremity indices based on the estimated return periods at individual sites and spatial averaging of the values; we optimized both the areal extent and the duration of individual events. The weather extremity index (WEI), the5 weather abnormality index (WAI), and the flood extremity index (FEI) were applied to the original precipitation data, the seasonally transformed precipitation data, and the runo data to identify extreme precipitation events (EPEs), abnormal precipitation events (APEs), and extreme flood events (EFEs), respectively. We present 50 events of each type from the period of 1961-2010 in the Czech Republic and compare their inter-annual and seasonal distributions. Most of EFEs were produced by an EPE in warmer half-years, whereas fewer than half of the EFEs were produced by an APE in the remainders of the years because thawing can substantially enhance the discharge at those times. Most significant EPEs occurred in July and the first half of
