Evaluating Simulated Microphysics of Stratiform and Convective Precipitation in a Squall Line Event Using Polarimetric Radar Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Recent upgrades to China’s radar network now allow for polarimetric measurements of convective systems in central China, providing an effective data set with which to evaluate the microphysics schemes employed in local squall line simulations.

Prolonged heavy rainfall and land use drive catchment sediment source dynamics: appraisal using multiple biotracers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Excessive sediment loss degrades freshwater quality and is prone to further elevation and variable source contributions due to the combined effect of extreme rainfall and differing land uses.

Probabilistic Envelope Curves for Extreme Rainfall Events - Curve Inviluppo Probabilistiche per Precipitazioni Estreme [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A regional envelope curve (REC) of flood flows summarises the current bound on our experience of extreme floods in a region. RECs are available for most regions of the world.

Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall erosivity factor for Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Rainfall erosivity, considering rainfall amount and intensity, is an important parameter for soil erosion risk assessment under future land use and climate change.

Persistent Meteorological Drought in the Yangtze River Basin during Summer–Autumn 2022: Relay Effects of Different Atmospheric Internal Variabilities

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
During the summer–autumn (July–October, Jul–Oct) period of 2022, the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) of China experienced an extreme meteorological drought, with Jul–Oct containing the lowest precipitation in the YRB since 1979.

Consequences to flood management of using different probability distributions to estimate extreme rainfall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The design of flood defences, such as pumping stations, takes into consideration the predicted return periods of extreme precipitation depths. Most commonly these are estimated by fitting the Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) or the Generalised Pareto (GP)

Post-Processing Ensemble Precipitation Forecasts and Their Applications in Summer Streamflow Prediction over a Mountain River Basin

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
Ensemble precipitation forecasts (EPFs) can help to extend lead times and provide reliable probabilistic forecasts, which have been widely applied for streamflow predictions by driving hydrological models.

Anatomy of extraordinary rainfall and flash flood in a Dutch lowland catchment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
On 26 August 2010 the eastern part of The Netherlands and the bordering part of Germany were struck by a series of rainfall events lasting for more than a day.
