RAINFALL VARIABILITY IN SOUTHERN SPAIN ON DECADAL TO CENTENNIAL TIME SCALES
In this work a long rainfall series in Andalusia (southern Spain) is analysed. Methods of historical climatology were used to reconstruct a 500-year series from historical sources. Different statistical tools were used to detect and characterize significant changes in this series. Results indicate r...
