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.

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.

Changes in Extreme Rainfall Events in South Africa
Climatic Change, 1999 Extreme rainfall events can have severe impacts on society, so possible long-term changes in the intensity of extreme events are of concern. Testing for long-term changes in the intensity of extreme events is complicated by data inhomogeneities resulting from site and instrumentation changes.

The drivers of extreme rainfall event timing in Australia
International Journal of Climatology, 2021 AbstractAustralia experiences some of the world's most variable rainfall. Previous studies have mostly focused on understanding rainfall variability in terms of frequency and intensity. However, understanding the timing of when extreme rainfall occurs is crucial for seasonal prediction, although it largely remains unexplored.
