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 ...

Globally estimated precipitation extremes
2020<p>Understanding the magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events is a core component of translating climate observations to planning and engineering design. This research aims to capture extreme precipitation return levels at the global scale. A benchmark of the current climate is created using the global Multi-Source

Extreme precipitations measured by radar
2021<p>Radar measurements provide information on precipitation in space and time. They do not measure precipitation but reflectivity. The transformation to precipitation is not straightforward.&#160; The result is that different, partly random, partly systematic errors may occur.&#160; Radar precipitation pixels are usually ...

Extreme Precipitation Events in Chile
2022Extreme precipitation has not only detrimental effects on ecosystems and social and economic sectors, but it is a natural hazard that can trigger floods or soil erosion. This study tries to analyze the extreme rainfalls on different geomorphological units and geographical regions of Chile.

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 ...
