Trend Analysis of Selected Hydroclimatic Variables for the Hornad Catchment (Slovakia)

This study examines the trends in air temperature, precipitation and flow rates over a 50-year observation period (1961–2010) compares two periods, 1961–1985 1986–2010. The research was carried out terms of annual monthly values. area is Hornad River Slovakia. main aim to examine evolution precipitation, temperature flows catchment area, as well identify regions (sub-catchments) most vulnerable climate change. Increasing years 1961–2010 were found be statistically significant (the Sen’s slope between 0.0197 0.0239). On other hand, downward trend recorded only at Stratená station (a small mountain catchment, where −0.0063). remaining upward not significant. Greater differences course on basis individual multi-years. from May August 1961–2010. No 1961–2010, an June
