Rainfall extremes under climate change in the Pasak River Basin, Thailand
Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2022 Changes in extreme rainfall tend to be magnified into unpredictable fluctuations in runoff, leading to flooding and drought in the Pasak River Basin of Thailand. Moreover, it also affects the operation of the existing infrastructure.

Atmospheric rivers do not explain UK summer extreme rainfall [PDF]
, 2015 Extreme rainfall events continue to be one of the largest natural hazards in the UK. In winter, heavy precipitation and floods have been linked with intense moisture transport events associated with atmospheric rivers (ARs), yet no large-scale ...

Extreme rainfall relationship in Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Maps, 2014 Precipitation statistics are inherent to the design of water resource systems by the prediction of two aspects of hydrological processes: the extremes and the averages. Extreme rainfall with high temporal resolution (i.e. an hour or less) is necessary for the design of urban drainage systems, as urban areas are generally characterized by their fast ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Extreme Rainfall in Southern Benin in the Context of Global Warming
Advances in Meteorology, 2023 Changes in the frequency and timing of extreme precipitation in southern Benin are assessed in the context of global warming. The peak-over-threshold (POT) is used for this purpose, with the six (06) year return period daily rainfall as the threshold ...

Spatio‐Temporal Changes in Extreme Rainfall Events Over Different Indian River Basins
Earth and Space Science, 2022 During recent decades, India experienced more frequent and severe floods due to increasing extreme rainfall events over different Indian River Basins (IRBs). The present study uses Generalized Extreme Value distribution, Expert Team on Climate Change and

Regional frequency analysis of extreme rainfalls
Water Science and Technology, 2002 This study proposes two alternative methods for estimating the distribution of extreme rainfalls for sites where rainfall data are available (gaged sites) and for locations without data (ungaged sites). The first method deals with the estimation of short-duration rainfall extremes from available rainfall data for longer durations using the “scale ...
