Sažetak
Mean values of climate parameters (climatological normals - CLINO) provide an insight into the climate characteristics of the region. Comparison of climate parameters for different 30-year periods can gain an insight into the stability of climate conditions of some area or their variability may be an indication of climate change. In this paper, daily precipitation amount and daily temperature data from 20 meteorological stations in Croatia are used to calculate climatological normals for three 30-year periods (1961–1990, 1971–2000 and 1981–2010). Although Croatia is relatively small country, large topographic variety, openness towards Pannonian Plain and position along the Adriatic Sea define different regions, so selection of the stations is in accordance with that. Spatial distribution of annual and seasonal climatological normals of temperature and precipitation amounts is shown for each period. Also, relative changes of temperature and precipitation amounts between three 30-year periods are calculated and shown at annual and seasonal scales. Important temperature and precipitation indexes, like number of cold or warm days and number of day above some precipitation threshold are discussed in the climate change context.
