The importance of fronts for extreme precipitation [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2013
Extratropical cyclones and their associated frontal systems are well known to be related to heavy precipitation events. Here an objective method is used to directly link extreme precipitation events with atmospheric fronts, identified using European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Interim Reanalysis data, to quantify the importance of fronts ...

Evaluating extreme precipitation in gridded datasets with a novel station database in Morocco [PDF]

, 2023
Morocco is a large country with complex terrain and many sparsely populated regions. With a semi-arid climate, it is highly vulnerable to floods driven by extreme precipitation, whose distribution is highly variable in space and time. Yet, this topic has

Evaluation of global climate models in simulating extreme precipitation in China

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2013
Variations in extreme precipitation can be described by various indices. In order to evaluate a climate model's ability to simulate extreme precipitation, gridded extreme precipitation indices from observations are needed.

Dynamic amplification of extreme precipitation sensitivity

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Significance Changes in precipitation extremes under climate change are subject to substantial uncertainty. Atmospheric moisture increases alone would make extreme rain events heavier at a well-understood rate of ∼ 7
