Using a rainfall stochastic generator to detect trends in extreme rainfall [PDF]

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2010
An original approach is proposed to estimate the impacts of climate change on extreme events using an hourly rainfall stochastic generator. The considered generator relies on three parameters. These parameters are estimated by average, not by extreme, values of daily climatic characteristics.
