Precipitation extremes in Ukraine from 1979 to 2019: Climatology, large-scale flow conditions, and moisture sources
Year: 2024

Understanding extreme precipitation events (EPEs) and their underlying dynamical processes and moisture transport patterns is essential to mitigate EPE-related risks. In this study, we investigate the dynamics of 82&amp;#160;EPEs&amp;#160;(&amp;#8805; 100 mm&amp;#8729;day-1) over the territory of Ukraine in the recent decades (1979-2019),&amp;#160;of which the majority occurred in summer. The EPEs are identified based on precipitation observations from 215 meteorological stations and posts in Uk
