Sažetak
The paper deals with the variations and trends in temperature, precipitation and runoff for two locations at the eastern Adriatic coast:(Crikvenica in Kvarner bay and Dalmatian island of Hvar for the period 1901-2004. Runoff is calculated by means of the Palmer procedure for water balance components. Besides the meteorological input parameters necessary for the water balance calculations, i.e. precipitation, temperature and relative humidity, the soil characteristics of this area have also been taken into account. Fluctuations have been presented by means of the 11-year binomial average series and linear trends tested by means of the Mann-Kendall rank test. For the significant trends, a progressive analysis of the time series was performed in order to determine the beginning of this phenomenon. The results show a significant increase in temperature in both regions, especially strengthen since the beginning of 1990’ s. Precipitation decrease is less pronounced, due to large variability. As the result of these peculiarities, the runoff show significant decreasing trends at both locations.
