The aim of this study was to model, based on the overall distribution of extreme values, the
probability of occurrence of a particular level of annual maximum daily rainfall in three …

This paper focuses primarily on extremes in the historical instrumental period. We consider a
range of phenomena, including temperature and precipitation extremes, tropical and extra …

The response of severe thunderstorms to a changing climate is a rapidly growing area of
research. Severe thunderstorms are one of the largest contributors to global losses in …

This study aimed to estimate levels of return of extreme daily precipitation events,
associating them with natural disasters in Northeast Brazil (NEB), a region characterized by …

Changes in extreme weather may produce some of the largest societal impacts of
anthropogenic climate change. However, it is intrinsically difficult to estimate changes in …

Water managers need non-stationary tools to better characterize precipitation extremes.
Statistical approaches based on extreme value theory (EVT) are increasingly being used …

Changes in the properties of extreme rainfall events have been observed worldwide. In
relation to the discussion of ongoing climatic changes, it is of high importance to attribute …

Severe thunderstorms can have devastating impacts. Concurrently high values of convective
available potential energy (CAPE) and storm relative helicity (SRH) are known to be …
