| Popis: | This paper analyzed the spatial distribution of drought at meteorological stations on the Lim valley (Plav, Andrijevica, Berane and Bijelo Polje) and on the upper course of the river Ibar (Rožaje). The goal of this research is to point out the modern climatic characteristics in relation to the current state of aridization, which is a limiting factor for economy of the population in many areas throughout the world. The method used for such purposes is the De Marton drought index. Results of the research indicated a decrease in the annual drought index through the Lim valley, with the highest values for Plav (IDM=61,9), and the lowest for the lowest downstream station Bijelo Polje (IDM=41,3). The values of this climate index indicate the conditions of very humid (Berane, Bijelo Polje and Rožaje) and extremely humid climates (Plav and Andrijevica), with huge drainage and forest vegetation. By applying the De Marton index on a seasonal and monthly level, the highest values of this indicator were established in the winter season. |
