Long-term trends and runoff fluctuations of European rivers. climate variability and change—hydrological impacts
Abstract In this paper the occurrence of dry and wet periods for 18 major European rivers during the period 1850–1997 is analysed. Annual discharge series were standardized for three regions: West/Central Europe, East Europe and North Europe, and for the whole of Europe. The statistical analysis of...
