Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is,
extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used …

Here we review methods used for probabilistic analysis of extreme events in
Hydroclimatology. We focus on streamflow, precipitation, and temperature extremes at …

Future rainfall extremes are projected to increase with global warming according to theory
and climate models, but common (annual) and rare (decennial or centennial) extremes …

What elements should a parsimonious model reproduce at a single scale to precisely
simulate rainfall at many scales? We posit these elements are:(a) the probability of dry and …

Extreme precipitation of multiple durations is responsible for major natural hazards in
mountainous regions, such as flash floods and debris flows. Understanding the orographic …

The current statistical methods applied in flood frequency analysis require long data records
to obtain reliable estimates, particularly for long return periods. Moreover, the choice of the …

The metastatistical extreme value approach proved promising in the frequency analysis of
daily precipitation from ordinary events, outperforming traditional methods based on …

This paper presents a Simplified Metastatistical Extreme Value formulation (SMEV) able to
model hydro-meteorological extremes emerging from multiple underlying processes. The …

The yearly exceedance probability of extreme precipitation of multiple durations is crucial for
infrastructure design, risk management, and policymaking. Local extremes emerge from the …

On 1 September 2021, the remnants of Hurricane Ida transformed into a lethal variant of
tropical cyclone in which unprecedented short‐duration rainfall from clusters of supercells …
