20.500.12556/RUL-165056 Vertical precipitation gradients a case study of Alpine valleys of northwestern Slovenia There are currently 319 precipitation stations in Slovenia, but their density decreases with altitude. In mountainous areas, where the amount of precipitation is the highest and precipitation gradients are also the greatest, there are very few precipitation stations to be found. Consequently, our knowledge of precipitation conditions is poorer precisely in the areas where processes are most intensive, and this leads to a poorer understanding of the water cycle and its effects. This paper examines differences in precipitation amounts and consequent vertical precipitation gradients along selected Alpine valleys in northwestern Slovenia. Precipitation gradients were calculated based on multi-year measurements of precipitation in the summer season. Measurements were taken in the valleys of Beli Potok, Krnica, and Planica in the Julian Alps. The results confirmed assumptions that the amount of precipitation along valleys increases with altitude. Precipitation gradients were significantly large and differed substantially among the valleys despite their proximity to one another. Annual vertical precipitation gradients in some cases exceeded 300 mm/100 m. climatogeography precipitation gradients meteorology Slovenia Julian Alps klimatogeografija meteorologija padavine Slovenija Julijske Alpe true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-11-21 12:54:47 2024-11-21 12:54:49 2024-11-22 03:58:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 Str. 401-409 Issue 1/2 Vol. 140 Apr. 2020 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2020-04-01 551.5(497.4) 0177-798X 10.1007/s00704-019-03051-z 70965090 RAZ_Ogrin_Matej_2020.pdf RAZ_Ogrin_Matej_2020.pdf 1 6650FE68BE8A9F3F56D1319A0627549A 2793ed63a7e464fd8a01231f62bdca4df6efa4285d51612a0f28ed5c0731d398 04d5de26-a7ff-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196003 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
