TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct a coherent study of the full-scale of daily rainfall categories over a relatively largesubtropical region- the Mediterranean- in order to assess whether this paradoxical behavior is real and its extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and Temporal Changes in Rainfall Frequency Distribution Patterns in Israel
TL;DR: In this paper, a gamma distribution function was fitted to the annual rainfall at each station for the two normal periods, and the shape and scale parameters of the distribution, as well as their percentage changes during the last normal period with respect to the first one, were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and Spatial Trends of Temperature Patterns in Israel
TL;DR: In this article, daily maximum and minimum temperatures from 40 stations in Israel were analyzed to detect long-term trends and changes in temporal and spatial distribution patterns during the second half of the 20th century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term changes in annual rainfall patterns in southern Israel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the annual average rainfall during the period 1961-1990 increased by up to 30% with only minor changes in the control stations representing the central and northern parts of the country, with an appreciable decrease in the coefficient of variation (CV) in nearly all of the 30 rain stations within the study region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and surface pressure anomalies in Israel and the North Atlantic Oscillation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Index anomalies and smoothed (5 year running mean) temperature and surface pressure anomalies in Israel.
