Popis: Mapping wet time-scales in the Curvature Carpathians andSubcarpathians (Romania) by the Standardized Precipitation Index.Identifying and describing excess precipitation hazards in the CurvatureCarpathians and Subcarpathians, as well as excess precipitation anomalies to themean Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) values were analysed over a period of3, 6, 9 and 12 consecutive months within the 1961 … 2000 interval. Homogeneousdata were recorded at the Lăcăuţi, Întorsura Buzăului, Pătărlagele, Penteleu,Tulnici, Râmnicu Sărat, Buzău, Ploieşti, Câmpina and Predeal stations. SPI valuesare a good indicator for determining and characterising excess precipitation. Theresults obtained were synthetised on maps of SPI territorial distribution values (%)of the extreme precipitation class of the sub-classes: moderately wet (2  2.5) andextremely wet (2.5). The share of each SPI value set analysed is illustrated ongraphs.
