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.

Review: Methods for the estimation of extreme rainfall events [PDF]
Water SA, 2019 The estimation of design rainfalls is necessary to estimate the exceedance probabilities of extreme floods required to design hydraulic structures and to quantify the risk of failure of these structures. New approaches to estimating extreme rainfall events are being developed internationally.

Extreme Rainfall Events in Lund 1979–1980
Hydrology Research, 1981 All raingauge measurements give only one-point values. Since the practical applications of rain data always deal with areal measures, the knowledge of areal distribution of rain is very important for correct evaluation of the rain volumes. Two types of rainfall input data are generally used: design rainfall hyetographs and long historical rainfall ...

Response of cyanobacteria and phytoplankton abundance to warming, extreme rainfall events and nutrient enrichment. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2019 Cyanobacterial blooms are an increasing threat to water quality and global water security caused by the nutrient enrichment of freshwaters. There is also a broad consensus that blooms are increasing with global warming, but the impacts of other ...

Urban flash flood and extreme rainfall events trend analysis in Bamako, Mali
Environmental Challenges, 2022 One of the consequences of climate change is the increasing rainfall intensity and frequency leading to flooding. Lately, some major cities in West Africa have been experiencing high frequency of flooding due to extreme rainfall.

The climatic interdependence of extreme-rainfall events around the globe
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2022 The identification of regions of similar climatological behavior can be utilized for the discovery of spatial relationships over long-range scales, including teleconnections. Additionally, it provides insights for the improvement of corresponding interaction processes in general circulation models.

Effect of climate change and variability on extreme rainfall intensity–frequency–duration relationships: a case study of Melbourne [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The increased frequency and magnitude of extreme rainfall events due to anthropogenic climate change, and decadal and multi-decadal climate variability question the stationary climate assumption.

Consequences to flood management of using different probability distributions to estimate extreme rainfall [PDF]
, 2013 The design of flood defences, such as pumping stations, takes into consideration the predicted return periods of extreme precipitation depths. Most commonly these are estimated by fitting the Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) or the Generalised Pareto (GP)
