Sažetak
Correlation and cross-spectral analysis of hydrographs was performed on the karst area of the mountainous section of the Kupa River in two time periods. Since there are karst aquifers in this area that is a part of strategic groundwater reserves of potable water, such an analysis could give better insight into the behavior of these aquifers. The functions used to describe karst aquifers are the cross-correlation function, coherence function, gain function, and phase function. The outcomes of the analysis results were very similar in the two analyzed periods, suggesting that differences in input signals between these two periods do not affect the aquifer function as a system filter. The results of this research suggest that the aquifer and overburden layer characteristics have a much stronger influence than the change of input signal on the runoff regime in the considered period.
