Poirier Ciencias de la Tierra Luxembourg Alzette river Kendalls tau Climate change HRM hydrological model As a consequence of an increase of days with westerly atmospheric fluxes, bringing humid air masses from theAtlantic Ocean to Western Europe, important changes in the annual and seasonal distribution of rainfall havebeen observed over the past 150 years. Annual rainfall totals observed during the second half of the 19th centurywere less important than those observed during the second half of the 20th century. Moreover, during the past 50years winter rainfall totals have significantly increased, while summer rainfall totals have been decreasing.Streamflow observations through the second half of the 20th century have shown a significant increase of wintermaximum daily streamflow, in reaction to the winter rainfall increase. The modelling of the streamflow underthe 19th century climatological conditions suggests that since then, the number of winter flood days hasincreased, while the occurrence of summer flood days has decreased. Moreover, high floods appear to havebeen more frequent in the second half of the 20th century. 2004 artículo científico 1695-6133 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50520205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=505 Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal (España) Num.2 Vol.2
