Hail precipitation is characterized by enhanced spatial and temporal variability. Association Nationale d'Etude et de Lutte contre les Fléaux Atmosphériques (ANELFA) installed hailpad networks in the Atlantic and Midi-Pyrénées regions of France. Historical data of hail variables from 1990 to 2010 were used to characterize variability. A total of 443 stations with continuous records were chosen ...

The non-parametric Mann-Kendall method and Sliding t-test were applied in this study to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of trends of the precipitation in the Loess Plateau from 1958 to 2007. The main trends of the precipitation in this region is downward, only four upward time series have not reach the significant level. Most of the abrupt changes happened in northeast of Loess Platea...

We propose one parametric and one non-parametric method for detection of monotone trends in nutrient concentrations in brackish waters. Both methods take into account that temporal variation in the quality of such waters can be strongly influenced by mixing of salt and fresh water, thus salinity is used as a classification variable in the trend analysis. With the non-parametric approach, Mann-K...

The aim of the paper is to analyze the characteristics of winter fog in terms of its trend and spatial-temporal variability over Indo-Gangetic plains. The study reveals that during last four and half decades (1971-2015), an alarming increasing trend in fog frequency has been observed during the winter months of December and January over the study area. The frequency of fog has increased by 118....

This research highlights the precipitation trends and presents the results of the study in temporal and spatial scales. Precise predictions of precipitation trends can play imperative part in economic growth of a state. This study examined precipitation inconsistency for 23 stations at the Dongting Lake, China, over a 52-years study phase (1961–2012). Statistical, nonparametric Mann-Kendall (MK...

Hydrological drought is defined by long-term decrease in levels and flows of water bodies. The task of this paper is to analyze and identify statistical trends of low flows in streams in the eastern Slovakia. Methodology for evaluating hydrological drought is based on statistical analysis of observed low stream flows at chosen river stations – annual and seasonal. Mann-Kendall statistical test ...

Bu çalışmanın amacı; Sivas ilindeki 9 meteoroloji istasyonu için sıcaklık ve yağış trendlerinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Her istasyonunun farklı zaman aralıklarındaki verileri Meteoroloji Müdürlüğü’nden temin edilmiş olup, Mann-Kendall trend testi yardımıyla ilkbahar, yaz, sonbahar, kış yıllık periyot analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gürün Ulaş ilçeleri dışındaki tüm istasyonlarda ortalama değerlerini...

One of the most important hydrological time series task is to determine if there is any trend in the data and how to achieve stationarity when there is nonstationarity behavior in data. Detecting trend and stationarity in hydrological time series may help us to understand the possible links between hydrological processes and global climate changes. In this study yearly, monthly and daily stream...
