Abstract
Recent climate changes represent one of the largest environmental issues and the cause of climate extremes such as drought and aridity. The subject of the paper is the interpretation of aridity conditions in Bačka using the Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI). The paper uses monthly and annual precipitation values (1990-2018) from five meteorological stations. The analyzed parameters were taken and calculated based on the Meteorological Yearbooks of the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia (RHSS). The spatial distribution of RAI is presented using interpolation based on QGIS software v3.18. In the case of negative precipitation anomalies (drought events) at the meteorological station (MS) Bački Petrovac, 2000 (-1.74) and 2017 (-1.47) were moderately dry. On the MS Bečej, only 2000 was moderately dry (-1.65). In the case of MS Novi Sad, two years were moderately dry - 2000 (-1.71) and 2011 (-1.29). On the MS Palić, only 2000 was moderately dry (-1.74). On the MS Sombor, 2000 (-1.68) and 2011 (-1.08) were moderately dry. The category normal is represented continuously (from 1991-1998 and 2006-2009). In the case of positive precipitation anomalies (wet events) on MS Bački Petrovac, 2000 was very wet (2.31), while 2011 (1.32) and 2017 (1.95) were moderately wet. At MS Bečej during 2000, there was slightly less humidity compared to MS Bački Petrovac (2.19). On the MS Novi Sad, 1990 (1.32), 1993 (1.20), 2002 (1.14), 2011 (1.74) and 2012 (1.11) were moderately wet. At MS Palić, 2000 belongs to the very wet category (2.34), while 2011 (1.17) and 2012 (1.05) are moderately wet. On the example of MS Sombor, the wettest year was also recorded - 2000 (2.25). The values of moderately wet years range from 1.02 (1990) to 1.44 (2011). The spatial distribution of the index indicates the diversity of climatic conditions in terms of dry and wet events. The presented results can represent the basis for planning regional development policy from the perspective of climate change adaptation measures.
