- Abstract
The article presents a study which evaluates the annual and seasonal spatial patterns of extreme precipitation event parameters observed in an area in Spain marked with a strong Atlantic-Mediterranean climatic gradient. It notes the study's aim of enriching knowledge on the precipitation patterns in the Iberian Peninsula, and of developing the use of an extreme-value theory-based method for hazard analysis. It also cites the use of standard annual and seasonal analyses in the research.
