Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly developing (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs)
emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …

The intensity of extreme precipitation events is projected to increase in a warmer climate,,,–,
posing a great challenge to water sustainability in natural and built environments. Of …

A large number of recent studies have aimed at understanding short-duration rainfall
extremes, due to their impacts on flash floods, landslides and debris flows and potential for …

Precipitation extremes are expected to intensify under climate change with consequent
impacts in flooding and ecosystem functioning. Here we use station data and high …

The aim of this paper is to explore how rainfall mechanisms and catchment characteristics
shape the relationship between rainfall and flood probabilities. We propose a new approach …

Extratropical cyclones and their associated extreme precipitation and winds can have a
severe impact on society and the co-occurrence between the two extremes is important …

Intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes and implications for flood risk: current state of
the art and future directions | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical …

In this publication we aim to relate observed changes in Central European extreme
precipitation to the respective large-scale thermodynamic state of the atmosphere. Maxima …
