Particle precipitation during ICME-driven and CIR-driven geomagnetic storms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) and corotating interaction regions (CIR) alter the parameters of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) that affect conditions in the Earth's magnetosphere and particle precipitation in the ...

Changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in the IPCC ensemble of global coupled model simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Consequences to flood management of using different probability distributions to estimate extreme rainfall [PDF]

open access: yes, 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)

Reconstructing Extreme Precipitation in the Sacramento River Watershed Using Tree‐Ring Based Proxies of Cold‐Season Precipitation

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2021
Extreme precipitation and consequent floods are some of California's most damaging natural disasters, but they are also critical to the state's water supply.

Secular change of extreme monthly precipitation in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 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).

Robust assessment of future changes in extreme precipitation over the Rhine basin using a GCM [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

METEOROLOGICAL FEATURES OF EXTREME PRECIPITATION IN THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An investigation of extreme precipitation cases in the northern Adriatic area is discussed in this paper. The criterion chosen for an extreme event recognition is a measured daily precipitation amount exceeding 100 mm day-1.

Characteristics of Temporal and Spatial Variation of Extreme Precipitation in Baise Area in Recent 60 Years

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2021
In the context of increasing and intensifying extreme precipitation events,the study of the changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of extreme precipitation in small-scale regions is conducive to the overall regional assessment of the risks brought ...
