RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DAILY MAXIMUM PRECIPITATION AND MONTHLY PRECIPITATION IN YUGOSLAVIA
Djuro Radinovic
The relationship between mean daily maximum precipitation and mean monthly precipitation for 1961—1990 is studied. Several statistical tests and very high correlation coefficients show that this relationship is specific. This is not the case with other relationships between daily and monthly amounts of precipitation. A preliminary analysis suggests that the relationship between daily maximum and monthly precipitation is based on some large-scale atmospheric circulation systems which cause wet or dry periods in Yugoslavia.
