Effects of orography on spatial distribution of convective precipitation in Banská Bystrica district (Slovakia) Abstract The presented diploma thesis deals with the issue of spatial distribution of convective precipitation over complex terrain in Banská Bystrica district in the middle part of the Slovak Republic. The primary aim of this thesis is to verify the relation between areal precipitation characteristics caused by deep convection, and morphometric terrain parameters in the study area. The next goal is to identify how the existence of terrain influences the precipitation mechanisms. Eight precipitation events with maximum areal daily totals in the warm part of years between 2005 and 2015 are studied in this thesis. The events are split into the four groups (S, W, E, N) with respect to prevailing direction of storm motion during respective days. The precipitation rating is based on rain gauge measurements and adjusted radar precipitation estimates produced in the INCA model. The spatial relation between convective precipitation and topography is quantified in radar pixels' network 1 x 1 km and in the closest surroundings (20 x 20 km squares) of the rain gauge stations. The products are using DEM with the 50 m, 1 km and 2 km spatial resolution. The strongest correlation is proved in the relation with...
