The synoptic drivers of extreme rainfall in South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A number of studies have shown an increase in the intensity of extreme rainfall over many regions of South Africa during the last 50 to 100 years. However, the weather of a region at any given time is a direct function of the synoptic state of the ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Extreme Rainfall in Southern Benin in the Context of Global Warming

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

Climatology of daily rainfall semi-variance in The Netherlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Rain gauges can offer high quality rainfall measurements at their locations. Networks of rain gauges can offer better insight into the space-time variability of rainfall, but they tend to be too widely spaced for accurate estimates between points.

Spatio‐Temporal Changes in Extreme Rainfall Events Over Different Indian River Basins

open access: yesEarth 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

Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall over the south-west coast of Bangladesh [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study examined the spatial and temporal rainfall variability from the 1940s to 2007 in the south west coastal region of Bangladesh. Time series statistical tests were applied to examine the spatial and temporal trends in three time segments (1948 ...
