Extreme precipitation is highly variable in space and time. It is therefore important to
characterize precipitation intensity distributions on several temporal and spatial scales. This …

We examine a method for predicting variations in the probabilities and occurrence of intense
local 24-hour precipitation events over seasonal, annual, and 5-yr intervals. The wet-day …

Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) covering the period 1979–
2007 are examined for changes of precipitation extremes as a function of global mean …

The envelope of world‐record point‐rainfall values for durations ranging from a few minutes
to six months is shown to be closely approximated by the relationship that maximum depth is …

Synoptic data associated with a sample of 554 heavy rainfall events is utilized to carry out a
trajectory analysis that identifies the movements of moisture towards regions of heavy rain …

Expected changes to future extreme precipitation remain a key uncertainty associated with
anthropogenic climate change. Recently, extreme precipitation has been proposed to scale …

Studies of extreme precipitation have documented changes at the continental scale during
the twentieth century, but few studies have quantified changes at small to regional spatial …

Abstract Short-duration (5 minutes to 24 hours) rainfall extremes are important for a number
of purposes, including engineering infrastructure design, because they represent the …
