GABARDINE Introduction The MERR (Most Expectable Rainfall Regime) in the four test sites was analyzed using daily data from relevant stations within or in the vicinity of each site. Median values of each component of the MERR and their time series will be presented. All analyses were done and all parameters were obtained by means of RUM2005 software. The daily rainfall threshold was set to 1.0 mm and the Beginning Date of Rainy Season (BDRS) was set on July 1st, to avoid splitting of the rainy season into two different years. Almost all parameters can be tailored and easily changed at the user will, e.g., daily thresholds, sub-periods or definition of the beginning and end of the rainy season and so on.

GABARDINE Parameters describing the annual rainfall TOTAL(d) Total rainfall [mm] accumulated from all rain spells of a given duration [days]. SAR(j,r,p) Daily Sorted Accumulated Rainfall for each Julian day ( j = 1 for July 1st,…j = 365 for June 30th), any daily rainfall threshold (r = 1.0 mm) and for various probabilities (p). SAP(j,r,p) Daily Sorted Accumulated Percentage for each Julian day ( j = 1 for July 1st,…j = 365 for June 30th), any daily rainfall threshold (r = 1.0 mm) and for various probabilities (p).

GABARDINE Parameters describing the temporal rainfall distribution DAP (k) Median Date of Accumulated Percentage (k=10, 20, … ,90) of an annual rainfall [days, since July, 1]. RSL Rainy Season Length [days] from the date when 10% of the annual rainfall amount until the date of 90% were accumulated RSL=DAP(90)-DAP(10)

GABARDINE Parameters describing the Rain Spell distribution NRS(d) Number of Rain Spells of a given duration [days]. RC(d) Relative contribution [%] of rain spells of a given duration [days]. Dividing TOTAL(d) by NRS(d) yields: TOTAL(d)/NRS(d)=RSY(d) RSY(d) Rain Spell Yield [mm]. The average rainfall accumulated during all rain spells of a given duration [days].

GABARDINE Parameters describing the distribution of extreme values AMED(d) Average/Median Ratio. AMED(d) = (Average(d)-Median(d))*100/Median(d) For a symmetrical distribution this parameter equals 0. High values of this ratio mean a positively skewed distribution caused by few extreme cases. 50R/50D(d)50% Rainfall/50% Rain-Days Ratio. For a perfect fit, this ratio equals 1. High values of this ratio mean that very few rain spells contributed most of the rainfall.

GABARDINE Parameters describing Dry Spells Distribution DSD(j,r,p) Dry Spells Distribution. This parameter calculates the time [days] elapsed from the last rainy day for each Julian day ( j = 1 for July 1st,…j = 365 for June 30th), any daily rainfall threshold (r = 1.0 mm) and for various probabilities (p).

GABARDINE Summary Rainfall TOTAL at the test sites varies from almost 600 mm (Picota) to less than 300 mm (Nirim). The RSL decrease from 8.5 months at the Greek and the Spanish stations to about 3.5 month at the Israeli stations. Half of the annual rainfall is obtained as early as the end of November at Barcelona but only in mid January at the Israeli stations. In all sites, the NRS of one-day is the greatest, however, at the Portuguese and Israeli sites, the relative contribution of two-days’ spells (or even three-days) is larger than the contribution of spells of one-day. The longest median DSD varies from 12 days (Thessaloniki) to 177 days (Nirim). However, the absolute longest DSD varies from 67 days (Barcelona) to 300 days (Nirim).
