Abstract

A recently set up and homogenised new precipitation dataset for the Greater Alpine Region (GAR) is presented here with some first preliminary analyses. Climate change patterns within the study region are analysed in terms of regionally different evolutions, seasonality, and short to long-term trends. It will be shown that precipitation presents pronouncedly different variability patterns in space as well as in terms of seasonality and at different time scales.
