Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

Tipping bucket rain gauges (TBRs) continue to be one of the most widely used pieces of
equipment for rainfall monitoring; they are frequently used for the calibration, validation, and …

Understanding groundwater recharge is essential for successful management of water
resources and modeling fluid and contaminant transport within the subsurface. This book …

This review and commentary sets out the need for authoritative and concise information on
the expected error distributions and magnitudes in observational data. We discuss the …

In mountainous regions, rainfall plays a key role in water supply for millions of people.
However, rainfall data for these sites are limited and generally of low quality, making it …

The first Field Intercomparison of Rainfall Intensity (RI) gauges was organised by WMO (the
World Meteorological Organisation) from October 2007 to April 2009 in Vigna di Valle, Rome …

This chapter describes the measuring principles and technological solutions available for in-
situ measurements of liquid (rain) and solid (snow) atmospheric precipitation. They can be …

The characterization of the alpine extreme precipitation is the basis to study the projected
changes in frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall and is needed to improve the resilience …

We analyze the performance of composite stochastic models of temporal precipitation which
can satisfactorily reproduce precipitation properties across a wide range of temporal scales …

Tipping-bucket rain gauges (TBRGs) are widely used globally to record rainfall amounts
over nominated accumulation durations such as 15-minute rainfall, hourly rainfall, and daily …
