Extreme Rainfall Relationships
Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1962Study of rainfall relations pertaining to hydrologic design; rainfall material is presented in map, tabular, and graphical form and is based on experience of analyzing United States extreme rainfalls both on individual storm basis and on frequency basis.

Estimating Probabilities of Extreme Rainfalls
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1989For a variety of design purposes there is increasing interest in estimating probabilities of rare floods, with magnitudes up to the probable maximum flood. One estimation approach, which we term “stochastic storm transposition,” is a generalization of the concept of storm transposition, which is the basis for estimating probable maximum precipitation ...

Spatial dependence of extreme rainfall
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017This study aims to model the spatial extreme daily rainfall process using the max-stable model. The max-stable model is used to capture the dependence structure of spatial properties of extreme rainfall. Three models from max-stable are considered namely Smith, Schlather and Brown-Resnick models. The methods are applied on 12 selected rainfall stations

Extreme Rainfalls in the Mediterranean Area
2013A brief survey on the extreme rainfalls in the Mediterranean area has been carried out beginning from the key thermal and pluviometric features of the Mediterranean macroclimate (wet and mild winters – warm and dry summers), passing through the main air masses that influence the basin and coming arriving to the main circulation patterns favourable to ...

Changes in Rainfall Extremes in Ontario
2015There is a general consensus that climate change has impact on the intensity and frequency of rainfall events. However, very little research is available about the changes in short term rainfall extremes. The focus of this paper has been on the change in annual and monthly rainfall extremes in Ontario.

Detection of trends in extreme rainfall
2015A modification in the water cycle is one of the most noticeable consequences of the global atmospheric warming. Precipitation is a key point in the process and the distribution of extreme rainfall is particularly important because it has the potential to impact on water management, soil erosion and flash floods.

Secular Trend in Extreme Rainfalls?
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1979Abstract Increasing attention has recently been given to many facets of climate change. This study focuses on a possible trend in extreme rainfalls in the past two decades based on the records of 135 National Weather Service stations in the eastern United States. The standard used to compare the recent data is Weather Bureau Technical Paper No. 40. The

On the Probability of Extreme Rainfall Events
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1973In recent years, the terms, “once-in-a-century” and 100-year, have been attached to various rare and catastrophic events; recent examples are the rains associated with Hurricane Agnes and the 1972 Rapid City storm. The background for the use of these terms is examined from the points of view of both the professional and nonprofessional user.
