Abstract

On the basis of daily precipitation data sets from 28 hydrometeorological stations of Ukraine the seasonal and yearly extreme value rows are got for 1951 – 2009 using several independent methods. Their linear trends are estimated in this paper. The space distribution of climate change of extreme precipitation frequency over the Ukraine in winter, spring, summer and autumn is analyzed in the paper.
