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

, 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)

Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall over the south-west coast of Bangladesh [PDF]

, 2014
This study examined the spatial and temporal rainfall variability from the 1940s to 2007 in the south west coastal region of Bangladesh. Time series statistical tests were applied to examine the spatial and temporal trends in three time segments (1948 ...

Microphysical Characteristics of a Squall Line Modulated by the Northeast China Cold Vortex Using Polarimetric Radar and Disdrometer Observations

Remote Sensing
Heavy precipitation in Northeast China is frequently modulated by the Northeast China Cold Vortex (NCCV), although the microphysical processes within squall lines under such conditions remain insufficiently understood. This study presents a comprehensive

Evolution of Atmospheric Water Vapor and Cloud Liquid Water During Non- and Pre-Precipitation Conditions over the Middle Yangtze River Basin in the Warm Season

Remote Sensing
Quantifying the distribution and spatiotemporal variation of water vapor and liquid water is of great significance for understanding the atmospheric thermodynamic processes during extreme meteorological events.

Rainfall Estimation by the WSR-88D for Heavy Rainfall Events

Weather and Forecasting, 1998
Abstract Storms that produce extreme flooding present a special challenge for the WSR-88D rainfall algorithms. The authors assess the utility of weather radar in the investigation of extreme rain-producing storms through both climatological analyses of long-term radar datasets and case studies of storm events.

Predicting Rainfall in the Context of Rainfall Derivatives Using Genetic Programming [PDF]

, 2015
Rainfall is one of the most challenging variables to predict, as it exhibits very unique characteristics that do not exist in other time series data. Moreover, rainfall is a major component and is essential for applications that surround water resource ...
