Abstract

Precipitation is important input into the hydrological system. With its time and space distribution significantly influences outflow from the catchment. This contribution deals with movement of rainfall events in Prague area. Velocities and directions of storm movement have been estimated on the basis of two years measurement from PVS a.s. raingauge network. Mostly convective rainfall events have been evaluated. There are estimated mean parameters for whole area and partial values of rainfall movement for nine subareas, into which the Prague area has been divided. Results can be used for estimation of space-time rainfall distribution in the catchment.
