CLIMATIC CHANGES IN THE MAGHREB REGION: THE EVOLUTION OF THE PLUVIOMETRIC PARAMETERS IN THE MIDDLE ATLAS AND AT ITS MARGINS (MOROCCO) AND ITS RELATION TO THE NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION
In order to characterize the climatic changes observed on a regional and local scale, an analysis of the pluviometric parameters has been proposed. It relies on the calculation of the centered index decreased and the quintile method to characterize their long-term evolution. This investigation allow...
