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)

Secular change of extreme monthly precipitation in Europe [PDF]
, 2005 Temporal changes in the occurrence of extreme events in time series of observed precipitation are investigated. The analysis is based on a European gridded data set and a German station-based data set of recent monthly totals (1896=1899–1995=1998).

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.

A climatology of sub-seasonal temporal clustering of extreme precipitation in Switzerland and its links to extreme discharge [PDF]
, 2021 The successive occurrence of extreme precipitation events on a sub-seasonal time-scale can lead to large precipitation accumulations, a classic trigger of flood events.

Robust assessment of future changes in extreme precipitation over the Rhine basin using a GCM [PDF]
, 2011 Estimates of future changes in extremes of multiday precipitation sums are critical for estimates of future discharge extremes of large river basins. Here we use a large ensemble of global climate model SRES A1b scenario simulations to estimate changes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Extreme Precipitation Analysis in Novi Sad
Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference, 2023 A direct consequence of the global climate change is the alteration of seasonal precipitation patterns and as a consequences pluvial flood in urban areas becoming more frequent. In this study, precipitation patterns for the city of Novi Sad were analysed for the 1961-2020 period.

Spatiotemporal characteristics of extreme precipitation and temperature: a case study in Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 Spatiotemporal characteristics of extreme precipitation and temperature in Yunnan Province, China, were analyzed by using observed daily data at 28 meteorological stations from 1958–2013 in this study.
