Design Rainfall Duration Based on Extreme Storm Events [PDF]

Journal of Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation, 2011
Abstract Rainfall duration of design storm is one of most important factors of hydrologic design. However the study is rare to investigatethe characteristics of rainfall duration, this make it difficult the efficient design procedure. In Korea, the critical storm duration hasbeen used for calculating peak discharge for design.

Monthly extreme rainfall risk envelope graph method development and application in Algeria

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2021
Rainfall patterns are bound to change as a result of global warming and climate change impacts. Rainfall events are dependent on geographic location, geomorphology, coastal area closeness and general circulation air movements.

How do variations in the temporal distribution of rainfall events affect ecosystem fluxes in seasonally water-limited Northern Hemisphere shrublands and forests? [PDF]

, 2012
As a result of climate change, rainfall regimes became more extreme over the course of the 20th century, characterised by fewer and larger rainfall events. Such changes are expected to continue throughout the current century. The effect of changes in the
