Spatial variability and interdependence of rain event characteristics in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Rain event characteristics are assessed in a 10-year (1991?2000) record for 122 stations in the Czech Republic. Individual rain events are identi?ed using the minimum interevent time (mit) concept. For each station, the optimal mit value is estimated byexamining the distribution of interevent times. In addition, various mit values are considered to account for the effect of mit on rain event characteristics and their interrelationships. The interdependence between rain event characteristics and altitude, average rainfall depth, and geographic location are explored using simple linear models. Most rain event characteristics can be to some extent explained by average total rainfall or altitude, although models including the former signi?cantly outperformed models using the latter. Signi?cant correlation was found among several pairs of monthly mean characteristics often including event rain rate (with event duration, depth, maximum intensity, and fraction of intraevent rainless periods)
