Estimating extreme dry spell risk in Ichkeul Lake Basin (Northern Tunisia): a comparative analysis of annual maxima series with a Gumbel distribution

Abstract: Abstract. This paper analyses a 42 year time series of daily precipitation in Ichkeul Lake Basin (northern Tunisia) in order to predict extreme dry-spell risk. Dry events are considered as a sequence of dry days separated by rainfall events from each other. Thus the rainy season is defined as a series of rainfall and subsequent dry events. Rainfall events are defined as the uninterrupted sequence of rainy days, when at last on one day more than a threshold amount of rainfall has been observed. A comparison of … Show more

“…A rainfall event is an uninterrupted sequence of rainy days including at least one rainy day with rainfall greater than 3.6 mm. This rainfall threshold value (3.6 mm) equal the expected daily evapotranspiration rate, marking the lowest physical limit for considering rainfall that may produce utilizable surface water resources (Mathlouthi and Lebdi, 2020). The rainfall event m in a given rainy season n will 1).…”
