摘要：

The whole area of Mount Medvednica and the surrounding lowland including the Zagreb city area experienced extensive rainfall on 3 to 4 July 1989 causing flash floods. Daily precipitation amounts measured at 0600 UTC on 4 July were in proportion to the mean monthly totals of July for this region. The maximum rainfall amounts for periods of 2 to 12 hours recorded during this storm, had a return period greater than one hundred years in this region. They were produced by intensive development of a mesoscale convective system along the slowly moving frontal zone lying over northwestern Croatia. The interaction between mesoscale processes and the synoptic scale development led to the intensive transformation of the initial air masses at the frontal line into those with a much stronger convective potential.
