Changes in persistent and non-persistent extreme precipitation in China from 1961 to 2016

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2018
In this study, based on daily gage precipitation data of 2480 stations from 1961 to 2016, the summer (June–August) extreme precipitation event was defined using the 95th percentile, and the changes in persistent (last for at least 2 d) and non-persistent

Tropical Precipitation Extremes

Journal of Climate, 2013
AbstractClassifying tropical deep convective systems by the mesoscale distribution of their cloud properties and sorting matching precipitation measurements over an 11-yr period reveals that the whole distribution of instantaneous precipitation intensity and daily average accumulation rate is composed of (at least) two separate distributions ...

Influence of urbanization on hourly extreme precipitation over China

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
The impact of rapid urbanization on the spatiotemporal pattern of short-term extreme precipitation in China remains unclear at the subnational scale. In this study, we present a general framework that measures urbanization-induced variation in hourly ...

A Quantitative Analysis of the Influence of Temperature Change on the Extreme Precipitation

Atmosphere, 2022
As an essential part of the hydrological cycle, precipitation is usually associated with floods and droughts and is increasingly being paid attention to in the context of global warming.

Statistical Tests for Extreme Precipitation Volumes [PDF]

Mathematics, 2019
The analysis of the real observations of precipitation based on the novel statistical approach using the negative binomial distribution as a model for describing the random duration of a wet period is considered and discussed. The study shows that this distribution fits very well to the real observations and generalized standard methods used in ...

Precipitation Extremes and Water Vapor

Current Climate Change Reports, 2022
AbstractPurpose of Review:Review our current understanding of how precipitation is related to its thermodynamic environment, i.e., the water vapor and temperature in the surroundings, and implications for changes in extremes in a warmer climate.Recent Findings:Multiple research threads have i) sought empirical relationships that govern onset of strong ...
