The consecutive disparity of precipitation in conterminous Spain 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Precipitation irregularity constitutes a constraint for natural systems and socio-economic activities, particularly in water-scarce environments. Standard variability statistics such as the standard deviation, variance, and coefficient of variation do not consider the chronological order of these values. In Climatology, however, the temporal order of meteorological events is a relevant factor that can affect natural and socio-economic systems. In order to evaluate the disparity between consecutive values in precipitation series, we applied the Consecutive Disparity Index (D) to the monthly grid with the highest spatial resolution (10×10 km) existing in Peninsular Spain for the period December 1915–November 2015. Monthly, seasonal, and annual D values show an increase from north to southwest, especially in July and August. The D values for the month-to-month correlative series and for monthly mean precipitation reveal a relatively similar pattern. In the latter case, however, the low values are recorded towards southern Spain, following some mountain ranges in the Centre-East of the territory. Monthly, seasonal, and annual precipitation values are also negatively correlated with the corresponding D values. © 2021, The Author(s). info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CGL2017-83866-C3-3-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/CGL2017-83866-C3-1-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/CGL2017-83866-C3-2-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.4 2022 METEOROLOGY & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES 43 / 94 = 0.457 2022 Q2 T2 0.826 2022 Atmospheric Science 2022 Q2 6.5 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lopez-Bustins J.-A.
