Heatwave-related extreme rainfall events
2022<p>Research on heatwave-related impacts typically focusses on risks to health or critical infrastructure. However, since high temperatures are an important element of convection-driven extreme rainfall events that can trigger flash floods, heatwave-induced extreme rainfall events are also important when considering heatwave impacts. Heavy

On the Probability of Extreme Rainfall Events
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1973In recent years, the terms, “once-in-a-century” and 100-year, have been attached to various rare and catastrophic events; recent examples are the rains associated with Hurricane Agnes and the 1972 Rapid City storm. The background for the use of these terms is examined from the points of view of both the professional and nonprofessional user.

Extreme Rainfall Events in the Hawaiian Islands
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2009AbstractHeavy rainfall and the associated floods occur frequently in the Hawaiian Islands and have caused huge economic losses as well as social problems. Extreme rainfall events in this study are defined by three different methods based on 1) the mean annual number of days on which 24-h accumulation exceeds a given daily rainfall amount, 2) the value ...

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.

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.

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

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.
