xWEI – A novel cross-scale index for extreme precipitation events

2022
<p><span>How can the extremity of an rainfall event be quantified? </span><span>Extreme rainfall events are rarely homogeneous regarding rainfall intensities and the spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall can cause flooding on different scales.

The Modified Rainfall Anomaly Index (mRAI)—is this an alternative to the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) in evaluating future extreme precipitation characteristics?

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2015
Precipitation extremes affect various economic sectors and may result in substantial costs for societies. Future projections of such extreme occurrences are needed to successfully develop robust regional adaptation strategies. Model ensemble-based approaches provide a higher level of confidence since they compensate to some degree for the uncertainties

Regional frequency analysis of extreme precipitation based on a nonstationary population index flood method

Advances in Water Resources, 2020
Abstract Anthropogenic climate change has led to nonstationarity in hydrological data and their statistical characteristics. To consider nonstationarity in regional frequency analysis, several nonstationary index flood (NS-IF) methods comprising a time-dependent site-specific scaling factor or nonstationary regional growth curves have been suggested.

Skillful Subseasonal Prediction of United States Extreme Warm Days and Standardized Precipitation Index in Boreal Summer

Journal of Climate, 2021
AbstractSkillful subseasonal prediction of extreme heat and precipitation greatly benefits multiple sectors, including water management, public health, and agriculture, in mitigating the impact of extreme events. A statistical model is developed to predict the weekly frequency of extreme warm days and 14-day standardized precipitation index (SPI ...

Local Analysis of the Characteristics and Frequency of Extreme Droughts in Málaga Using the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)

2015
Drought is a natural phenomenon worldwide that triggers significant economic, social and environmental impacts. It is characterized by persistent time periods with recorded rainfall data below the mean, and it is one of the major climate-related hazards.

Influence of Teleconnection Indices on Extreme Precipitation and Vegetation Index in Chalakudy River Basin

International Journal Of Scientific Research In Engineering & Technology
This study investigates the influence of global teleconnection indices on extreme precipitation events and vegetation dynamics in the Chalakudy River Basin, Kerala, India. The basin, characterized by high rainfall variability, is highly susceptible to climate-induced hydrological extremes.

Quantifying spatiotemporal influences of climate index on seasonal extreme precipitation based on hierarchical Bayesian method

International Journal of Climatology, 2019
AbstractQuantifying spatiotemporal influence of climate index on extreme precipitation will help to better understand the variability of extreme precipitation. The extreme precipitation is usually influenced by different climate indices, and mutual offset is unavoidable to occur, thus the rotated empirical orthogonal function was used to identify the ...

Water temperature anomalies in the north Atlantic and precipitation in the Crimea in the years with extreme values of the north Atlantic oscillation index

Russian Meteorology and Hydrology, 2007
A sign-variable structure of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the high, subtropical, and tropical latitudes of the North Atlantic under the North Atlantic Oscillation index (NAO) values NAO ≥ 1 and NAO ≤ −1 is considered. A difference in cyclonic activity in winter under extreme values of the NAO is noted.

Analyzing Extreme Events Using Standardized Precipitation Index During the 20th Century for Surat District, India

2017
The study of floods and droughts requires the knowledge of wet and dry event sequences. They are the two important extreme conditions which directly or indirectly affects every field of environmental science. These extreme conditions are due to the change in one, of the many but most important parameter, rainfall.

How rare, how risky? A return period-based early warning index for extreme precipitation

Extreme precipitation events are expected to become more frequent and more intense under climate change. Already today, the underestimation of extreme precipitation in weather forecasts can lead to an underestimation of impact and inadequate early warnings.
