Temporal Variability and Potential Predictability of the Streamflow Regimes in the North‐Eastern Iberian Peninsula
Abstract This paper investigates the temporal variability and potential predictability of streamflow regimes in the north‐eastern Spain for the 1970–2010 period. Two different regimes are found, those characterized for having peak flows in the winter and those where this maximum appears in the sprin...
