Abstract The temporal variability of the aridity index (AI) in Greece is examined over an almost century period (1900–1997) and for a number of meteorological stations according to data availability. The analysis is carried out for three distinct climatic periods: 1900–1929, 1930–1960 and 1961–1997. In addition to the use of AI, other drought related parameters based on Thornthwaite's water budget approach are adopted to provide more insights into the variability of AI. Results show a relatively slow but steadily progressive establishment of drier conditions in most areas. During the early climatic period most of the totally 25 examined areas in the Greek peninsula are classified as ‘Humid’ with a few exceptions for the ‘Sub-Humid’ class and for the ‘Semi-Arid’ class'. Within the second examined period, a shift from the ‘Sub-humid’ class towards the ‘Semi-Arid’ class appeared mostly in the Aegean Sea Cyclades Islands. The most significant shift was found to appear during the third period with changes from the ‘Humid’ class to the ‘Sub-humid’ class in parts of the continental Greece, in Eastern Crete and in mountainous areas. In some areas (e.g. Attica basin) AI values tend to approach the threshold value for shift from the ‘Semi-Arid’ class to the ‘Arid’ class whereas for a number of areas located in the western coastal region, the AI class ‘Humid’ remains unchanged during all three periods.

使用上个世纪(1900-1997 年)的气候数据,希腊干旱指数和相关干旱参数的变化

摘要 希腊干旱指数 (AI) 的时间变化在近一个世纪(1900 年至 1997 年)的时间里进行了研究,并根据数据可用性针对多个气象站进行了研究。该分析针对三个不同的气候时期进行:1900-1929、1930-1960 和 1961-1997。除了使用 AI 之外,还采用了基于 Thornthwaite 的水预算方法的其他干旱相关参数,以提供对 AI 可变性的更多见解。结果表明,在大多数地区,干旱条件的建立相对缓慢但稳步推进。在早期的气候时期,希腊半岛总共 25 个检查区域中的大部分被归类为“潮湿”,“亚湿润”类和“半干旱”类除外。在第二个审查期内,从“半湿润”等级到“半干旱”等级的转变主要出现在爱琴海基克拉泽斯群岛。发现最显着的转变出现在第三个时期,在希腊大陆的部分地区、克里特岛东部和山区从“湿润”等级变为“半湿润”等级。在某些地区(例如阿提卡盆地),AI 值趋向于从“半干旱”等级转变为“干旱”等级的阈值,而对于位于西部沿海地区的一些地区,AI 等级“潮湿” ' 在所有三个时期都保持不变。在克里特岛东部和山区。在某些地区(例如阿提卡盆地),AI 值趋向于从“半干旱”等级转变为“干旱”等级的阈值,而对于位于西部沿海地区的一些地区,AI 等级“潮湿” ' 在所有三个时期都保持不变。在克里特岛东部和山区。在某些地区(例如阿提卡盆地),AI 值趋向于从“半干旱”等级转变为“干旱”等级的阈值,而对于位于西部沿海地区的一些地区,AI 等级“潮湿” ' 在所有三个时期都保持不变。
