The paper investigates precipitation variability in the greater Alpine region (GAR) (4-19 degrees E, 43-49 degrees N) based on 192 instrumental series of homogenized and outlier checked monthly precipitation and on the 1 degrees gridded version of the same data set. Compared to the previous data set...
