Increases in the extreme rainfall events: Using the Weibull distribution
Environmetrics, 2018AbstractThe frequency of extreme weather events, such as severe floods, storms, hurricanes, and droughts, seems to have increased in recent years. The analysis of trends and other changes in the distribution of these phenomena uses the extreme value theory.

Trends in extreme rainfall events of Bangladesh
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2010A study of the variability of the extreme rainfall events in Bangladesh during the time period 1958–2007 has been carried out in this paper. Quality-controlled homogeneous daily precipitation records of nine stations distributed over Bangladesh are used for the study. A total of 15 annual and seasonal indices of rainfall are examined.

Frequency analysis of extreme rainfall events
2010GM000976-TE-El_Adlou f The study of the rainfall probability distributions is important to estimate large events and their probability of occurrence. This paper presents the usefulness of extreme hydrological frequency analysis when the occurrences are independent in time to describe the likelihood of extreme events over the time horizon. Classical and

Probabilistic envelope curves for extreme rainfall events
Journal of Hydrology, 2009Summary This study extends the concept of the regional envelope curve (REC) of flood flows to extreme rainstorm events by introducing the Depth-Duration Envelope Curves (DDEC). DDEC are defined as regional upper bounds on observed rainfall maxima for several rainfall durations.

Observing Extreme Rainfall Events at Fine Timescales
2022<p>The Computational Hydrometeorology Lab in National Taiwan University (NTU CompHydroMet Lab) recently launched a rainfall monitoring network, with a special focus on observing extreme storm events, such as typhoons and thunderstorms, over the south area of Taipei.

Dominant events in extreme rainfall records
Journal of Hydrology, 1992Abstract A maximum rainfall over a short interval will sometimes be greater than the maximum persisting over a longer interval. Data from this situation are usually taken as point values in the analysis of extremes but these maxima are interpretable as upper bounds for the longer interval.

Genetic Programming for Downscaling Extreme Rainfall Events
2013 1st International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Modelling and Simulation, 2013Downscaling extreme rainfall events is a major challenge in climate change study. A Genetic Programming (GP) based method is used in this article for the downscaling of extreme rainfall events in the East coast of peninsular Malaysia during northeast monsoon season.

Extreme rainfall events during and following heatwaves
2021<p>Heatwaves and extreme rainfall events are natural hazards that can have severe impacts on society. The relationship between temperature and extreme rainfall has received scientific attention with studies focussing on how single daily or sub-daily rainfall extremes are related to day-to-day temperature variability.

An Extreme Rainfall/Runoff Event in Arctic Alaska
Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2003Abstract Rainfall-generated floods in the Arctic are rare and seldom documented. The authors were fortunate in July 1999 to monitor such a flood on the Upper Kuparuk River in response to a 50-h duration rainfall event that produced a watershed average in excess of 80 mm.
