Methodological advances in the analysis of the daily concentration of rainfall in mainland Spain

Abstract

The daily concentration of the precipitation in 32 meteorological stations in peninsular Spain by means of the Concentration Index (Martin-Vide, 2004) and similar indexs using 5 and 10 mm classes, and the corresponding Gini’s indexs, has been analysed. The maps for the period 1951-2010, as well as for the subperiods 1951-1980 and 1981-2010, have been compared. Finally, the changes in the daily concentration of the precipitation between the first and the second subperiods are studied.
