Extreme rainfall in the Mediterranean

, 2010
This paper examines the recent advances in the analysis of extreme rainfall in the Mediterranean region. In the ‘90s the National Group for Defence from Hydrogeological Disasters for Italian rivers developed a regional methodology that later became the VAPI procedure (Rossi and Villani, 1994).

Multifractals and extreme rainfall events

Geophysical Research Letters, 1993
Based on a multifractal structure hypothesis for temporal rainfall processes, a general formula relating maximum possible point rainfall accumulations is derived as a function of the duration and sample size. This formula appears to be in agreement with empirical observations.

Spatiotemporal patterns and zonation of typhoon and non-typhoon extreme rainfall hazards in the typical coastal region of southeastern China

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
To enhance extreme rainfall risk assessment in East Asia, it is critical to distinguish typhoon and non-typhoon rainfall, assessing the spatiotemporal patterns of their extreme rainfall hazards and conducting corresponding spatial zonation. Taking Fujian,

Understanding past record-shattering rainfall events in New Zealand

Environmental Research: Climate
Record-shattering rainfall events are intensifying and projected to occur more frequently in a warming climate, primarily via changes in extreme rainfall variability.

Damage After Extreme Rainfall

Abstract Extreme weather already causes much damage today, and it will become only more common as climate change progresses, not only in the Netherlands itself but also in the Caribbean territories. In this chapter, we specifically examine the damage caused by extreme rainfall, who is compensated for it, and who actually pays for it.

Quantifying rainfall variability and potential hazards of extreme events in Beijing through stochastic simulations

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The city of Beijing, China. Study focus: Beijing is affected by heavy rainfall in summer, which may trigger urban floods. These risks make long rainfall records valuable for extreme rainfall analysis, given the complex spatiotemporal ...
