Climatic and oceanic associations with daily rainfall extremes over southern Africa [PDF]

, 2006
Changes in climate variability and, in particular, changes in extreme climate events are likely to be of far more significance for environmentally vulnerable regions than changes in the mean state.

An assessment of the ability of Bartlett–Lewis type of rainfall models to reproduce drought statistics [PDF]

, 2013
Of all natural disasters, the economic and environmental consequences of droughts are among the highest because of their longevity and widespread spatial extent. Because of their extreme behaviour, studying droughts generally requires long time series of

Stream ecosystem responses to an extreme rainfall event across multiple catchments in southeast Alaska [PDF]

, 2015
Floods are a key component of the flow regime of many rivers and a major structuring force of stream communities. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of extreme rainfall (i.e. return intervals > 100 years) leading to extensive flooding,

NON-PARAMETRIC STATISTICAL APPROACH TO CORRECT SATELLITE RAINFALL DATA IN NEAR-REAL-TIME FOR RAIN BASED FLOOD NOWCASTING [PDF]

, 2010
Floods resulting from intense rainfall are one of the most disastrous hazards in many regions of the world since they contribute greatly to personal injury and to property damage mainly as a result of their ability to strike with little warning.

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.

Characteristics of Extreme Rainfall Events in North Sumatra

Prisma Sains : Jurnal Pengkajian Ilmu dan Pembelajaran Matematika dan IPA IKIP Mataram, 2023
Extreme rain is an event that has an impact on various sectors of life. Therefore, this study aims to determine the spatial and temporal characteristics of extreme rain events in North Sumatra Province in the time period between 1991-2020. In accordance with the WMO recommended rain index, the frequency and intensity of rain were calculated using 50 ...

Increased sporadic extremes decrease the intraseasonal variability in the Indian summer monsoon rainfall

Scientific Reports, 2017
The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) shows quasi-rhythmic intraseasonal oscillations (ISO) manifested as alternate ‘active’ phases of copious rainfall and quiescent phases of ‘break’.

On the extreme rainfall events during the southwest monsoon season in northeast regions of the Indian subcontinent

Meteorological Applications, 2020
Hydrological disasters are recurrent over the northeast Indian region (NEI) due to heavy downpours within a short span of time. Therefore, the characteristics of rainfall extremes during the southwest monsoon over the NEI, their evolution and dissipation
