ABSTRACT. – Mapping wet time-scales in the Curvature Carpathians and Subcarpathians (Romania) by the Standardized Precipitation Index. Identifying and describing excess precipitation hazards in the Curvature Carpathians and Subcarpathians, as well as excess precipitation anomalies to the mean Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) values were analysed over a period of 3, 6, 9 and 12 consecutive months within the 1961 … 2000 interval. Homogeneous data were recorded at the Lăcăuţi, Întorsura Buzăului, Pătărlagele, Penteleu, Tulnici, Râmnicu Sărat, Buzău, Ploieşti, Câmpina and Predeal stations. SPI values are a good indicator for determining and characterising excess precipitation. The results obtained were synthetised on maps of SPI territorial distribution values (%) of the extreme precipitation class of the sub-classes: moderately wet (2  2.5) and extremely wet (2.5). The share of each SPI value set analysed is illustrated on graphs.

Key-words: Curvature Carpathians and Subcarpathians, excess precipitation, precipitation anomalies, SPI.
