Fig. 2. Precipitation trends of the Atlantic region
~
All the stations have no significant trend (North Africa),
~
one station has a significant trend which is decreasing as in the region (Nicosia
in the Near East, Palma in the Gulfs of Valencia and Lions), or
~
one or two stations have a significant trend which is opposite to the regional
one, but these stations are not as many as the stations having a similar trend as
the whole region (Gibraltar and Tangiers in the Atlantic region).
In Greece, three among the four retained stations have non significant
decreasing trends while the region has a significant decreasing trend.
