Trends in reconstructed monthly, seasonal and annual flows for Irish catchments (1900-2016)
O'Connor, Paul ; Meresa, Hadush ; Murphy, Conor
Trends in annual, seasonal and monthly reconstructed mean flows for 51 Irish catchments are evaluated for the period 1900-2016. Annually, significant increasing trends are identified for western catchments. In winter, significant increasing trends dominate the western seaboard, with decreasing trends in the southeast. Few significant trends are found in spring and summer, while autumn shows significant increasing trends in northern catchments. Months with the largest number of significant increasing trends are January, November and December. Trend persistence was evaluated by dropping the start year of analysis, with winter showing the most persistent trends across the record.</p>
