The drivers of extreme rainfall event timing in Australia
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.

Impacts of the Madden-Julian oscillation on Australian rainfall and circulation [PDF]
Impacts of the Madden¿Julian oscillation (MJO) on Australian rainfall and circulation are examined during all four seasons. The authors examine circulation anomalies and a number of different rainfall metrics, each composited contemporaneously for eight ...

A note on extreme European rainfall events
This historical note is to commemorate an extreme natural disaster, which affected Central Europe in August 2002 (not long ago already ten years had passed since this catastrophe). As to the measured record precipitation amounts, this extreme is compared with similar extreme cases occurring in Central Europe (here the region of A, CZ, D, H, PL, SK) in ...

Characteristics of Extreme Rainfall Events in North Sumatra
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 ...

Historical extreme rainfall events in southeastern Australia
The cities of Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide are home to almost half of the Australian population, and are often exposed to extreme rainfall events and high year-to-year rainfall variability. However the majority of studies into rainfall in these cities,

On the emergence of rainfall extremes from ordinary events [PDF]
AbstractThe analysis and estimation of extreme event occurrences is a central problem in many fields of geoscience. Advancements in the study of extreme events have recently been limited, arguably in connection with asymptotic assumptions in the traditional extreme value theory (EVT) and with its focusing on a small fraction of the available ...

Future projections of extreme rainfall events in Indonesia
AbstractPrevious evaluations of coupled climate models have indicated that under the influence of global warming precipitation extremes, including those over Indonesia, are expected to intensify. Here, we examine the most recent future projections of extreme rainfall in Indonesia using 24 global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison ...
