Extreme Precipitation in the Himalayan Landslide Hotspot [PDF]
, 2020 Extreme precipitation from the South-Asian monsoon season combines with significant topographic relief within the Himalayan region to cause landslides that result in hundreds to thousands of fatalities each year. While there are few consistent and publicly available in-situ estimates of rainfall across this region, satellite products and global climate

Precipitation extremes in Durham
2022Abstract This chapter examines Durham’s extremes of precipitation and considers long droughts, rainfall depth-duration extremes dry and wet from one day to one year, wettest and driest calendar months, wettest days, heaviest snowfalls, and maximum snowfall depths by winter.

Extreme and intense precipitation
2021The availability of numerous gridded precipitation products and the importance of the question of extreme precipitation have led to a number of new findings. Over land, this intercomparison generally emphasizes that global space-based precipitation products show the potential for climate-scale analyses of extremes to serve as a complementary source to ...

Atmospheric Warming and the Amplification of Precipitation Extremes
Science, 2008Climate models suggest that extreme precipitation events will become more common in an anthropogenically warmed climate. However, observational limitations have hindered a direct evaluation of model-projected changes in extreme precipitation. We used satellite observations and model simulations to examine the response of tropical precipitation events ...

Precipitation extremes in 2023
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment© Springer Nature Limited 2024. 2023 saw a multitude of extreme precipitation events across the globe, causing flash flooding, countless fatalities and huge economic losses. Fuelled by a combination of a strong El Niño, record ocean warmth and anthropogenic warming, these events highlight the ongoing risks posed by extreme precipitation in a warming ...

Satellite Precipitation Algorithms for Extreme Precipitation Events
2007Floods and flash floods take a heavy toll each year in terms of both lives and property. According to the 2001 Disaster Report by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, floods accounted for over two-thirds of the 211 million people affected worldwide on average by natural disasters each year during the 1990s, and also for roughly 15 ...

Modelling seasonality in extreme precipitation
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2009We examine a statistical model for the description of the seasonal variation of extreme daily precipitation at 689 stations across the UK. The probability distribution for monthly maximum precipitation intensity is modelled with a generalised extreme-value distribution (GEV).
