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.

Atmospheric rivers do not explain UK summer extreme rainfall [PDF]
, 2015 Extreme rainfall events continue to be one of the largest natural hazards in the UK. In winter, heavy precipitation and floods have been linked with intense moisture transport events associated with atmospheric rivers (ARs), yet no large-scale ...

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.
