Climatological characterization of the Pannonian basin

The European Climate Assessment and Dataset (ECA&D) gridded dataset E-OBS is used to estimate mean seasonal 2 m air temperature (T2m) and total precipitation amount ( R) over the Pannonian basin and neighbouring regions. We have analysed two historical periods: 1961-1990 and 1981-2010 using gridded data at the horizontal resolution of 25 km. Comparison against national climate atlases based on higher resolution data is also provided. The same E-OBS data is used to estimate trends in the mean seasonal and annual T2m and R time series over the entire available period (i.e. 1950-2014) at the location of the major cities in this region. Again, references against high resolution national climate products are provided where possible. Finally, several extreme meteorological events over this region (e.g. 2003 heat-wave, 2012 drought, 2014 flooding) are put into the context of the observed climatology and climate trends.
