abstract

Analysis of flood occurrence seasonality represents one of ambitious methodological approaches oriented towards enhancing knowledge on regime of these natural disturbances. Data from 181 gauging stations (out of them 108 in the Labe River Basin, 21 in the Odra River Basin and 52 in the Morava River and the Dyje River Basins) were applied for analysis on the Czech Republic territory. The input data were flood discharges represented by their daily averages within the reference period 1975–2000. Method of directional statistic was used to express spatial dissimilarity of flood occurrence seasonality. Output resulting from application of this method is determination of the flood occurrences mean day (MD) within the year in the examined river basin and furthermore the time dispersion index (r) of flood events. Based on these directional characteristics applied on sets of selected river basins, the Czech Republic territory can be divided into regions according to flood occurrence frequency in particular period of year. Analýza sezonality výskytu povodní na území České republiky metodou směrových charakteristik Analýza sezonality výskytu povodní představuje jeden z ambiciózních metodologických přístupů ke zvýšení poznatků o režimu těchto přírodních disturbancí. K aplikaci analýzy na území České republiky bylo použito údajů ze 181 vodoměrných stanic (z toho 108 z povodí Labe, 21 z povodí Odry a 52 z povodí Moravy a Dyje). Vstupními veličinami byly povodňové průtoky reprezentované jejich denními průměry v jednotném referenčním období 1975–2000. K vyjádření prostorové odlišnosti sezonality výskytu povodní byla použita metoda směrových statistik. Výstupem postupů podle této metody je určení průměrného dne výskytu povodní (MD) v průběhu roku v šetřeném povodí a dále index časového rozptylu (r) povodňových případů. Na základě těchto směrových charakteristik aplikovaných na souborech vybraných povodí lze tak území České republiky rozdělit na oblasti podle četnosti výskytu povodní v konkrétním období roku.
