Resumen de Measuring concentration of daily precipitation: A method comparison study

Robert Monjo Agut, Javier Martín Vide

• The temporal concentration of precipitation may be characterised using several methods. For climatescale precipitation, concentration measures are usually performed by means of dimensionless indices related with the Lorenz curve (Shaw and Wheeler, 1994, Martin-Vide, 2004). Other disciplines employ information entropy formulae such as the Theil Index (TI), derived from the Shannon Index (Cowell, 2000; Jost, 2006).
