Precipitation extremes in Durham

2022
Abstract 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.

Spatiotemporal variations of extreme precipitation and its potential driving factors in China’s North-South Transition Zone during 1960–2017

, 2021
Based on the daily data collected from 69 meteorological stations in the Qinling-Daba Mountains (Qinba mountains) and its surrounding areas during 1960–2017. We analyzed The spatiotemporal variations of extreme precipitation events in the Qinba mountains

Understanding the Mechanisms of Summer Extreme Precipitation Events in Xinjiang of Arid Northwest China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
As one of the aridest regions in the mid‐latitudes, arid Northwest China (ANC) has scarce water resources year‐round, its annual total precipitation is mainly contributed by summer extreme precipitation events, which may also cause disastrous flash ...

Satellite Precipitation Algorithms for Extreme Precipitation Events

2007
Floods 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.  The result is that different, partly random, partly systematic errors may occur.  Radar precipitation pixels are usually ...

Intensification of extreme precipitation in arid Central Asia

Journal of Hydrology, 2020
Changes in total and extreme precipitation are expected to intensify under climate warming. As Central Asia is among the driest regions in the world, more information is needed regarding the past and potential future changes in extreme precipitation in ...

Extreme Precipitation Events in Chile

2022
Extreme 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.
