Abstract

The daily concentration of the precipitation in 32 meteorological stations in peninsular Spain by means of the Concentration Index (Martin-Vide, 2004) and similar indexs using 5 and 10 mm classes, and the corresponding Gini’s indexs, has been analysed. The maps for the period 1951-2010, as well as for the subperiods 1951-1980 and 1981-2010, have been compared. Finally, the changes in the daily concentration of the precipitation between the first and the second  subperiods are studied.
