Grasslands maintain stability in productivity through compensatory effects and dominant species stability under extreme precipitation patterns [PDF]
, 2021 Extreme climatic events are likely to intensify under climate change and can have different effects on ecosystems depending on their timing and magnitude.

WIREs Water, 2022 AbstractThe effect of increased populations concentrated in urban areas, coupled with the ongoing threat of climate change, means that society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of extreme precipitation. The study of these events is therefore a key topic in climate research, in their physical basis, in the study of their impacts, and in

On the links between sub-seasonal clustering of extreme precipitation and high discharge in Switzerland and Europe [PDF]
, 2022 River discharge is impacted by the sub-seasonal (weekly to monthly) temporal structure of precipitation. One example is the successive occurrence of extreme precipitation events over sub-seasonal timescales, referred to as temporal clustering.

Changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in the IPCC ensemble of global coupled model simulations [PDF]
, 2007 Temperature and precipitation extremes and their potential future changes are evaluated in an ensemble of global coupled climate models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) diagnostic exercise for the Fourth Assessment ...

Downscaling precipitation extremes [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2009 A new method for predicting the upper tail of the precipitation distribution, based on empirical–statistical downscaling, is explored. The proposed downscaling method involves a re-calibration of the results from an analog model to ensure that the results have a realistic statistical distribution.

Consequences to flood management of using different probability distributions to estimate extreme rainfall [PDF]
, 2013 The design of flood defences, such as pumping stations, takes into consideration the predicted return periods of extreme precipitation depths. Most commonly these are estimated by fitting the Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) or the Generalised Pareto (GP)
