A method for ranking daily precipitation events is presented based on the most comprehensive database of daily gridded precipitation dataset available for the Iberian Peninsula spanning from 1950 to 2008. The magnitude of an event is obtained after considering the area affected as well as its intensity in every grid point and taking into account the daily normalized departure from climatology. Different precipitation rankings are presented considering the entire Iberian Peninsula, Portugal and also the six largest river basins in the Iberian Peninsula...
This paper analyses the temporal and spatial variability of droughts in Iberia (IP) and in five IP regions (1951−2007) using four observational precipitation‐gridded data sets. Droughts were analysed by means of the Weighted Anomaly of Standardized Precipitation (WASP) for 3‐, 6‐ and 12‐month time scales. WASP‐Index and the Standardized Precipitation Index are highly correlated. The major drought...
