Twentieth century trends in droughts in southern Switzerland
| Résumé |
An investigation is made of the change in frequency of drought
episodes in southern Switzerland. Episodes of drought are shown to
have increased in frequency and persistence during the 20th
century. They have been particularly frequent and long during the
1940s as well as since 1981. As these two periods have also been
particularly warm, the results are discussed in relation to the
increase in global atmospheric temperatures observed this
century. |
