Abstract Information on extreme precipitation is essential to managing weather-related risks
and designing hydraulic structures. Research attention to frequency analyses based on …

Convection‐resolving models allow to explicitly resolve deep convection at horizontal grid
spacings of O (1 km). On current supercomputers, refining the grid spacing to the kilometer …

Current approaches to constructing catchment intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves are
dominated by the use of empirically-derived areal reduction factors (ARFs). In this paper we …

We consider daily rainfall observations at 32 stations in the province of North Holland (the
Netherlands) during 30 years. Let T be the total rainfall in this area on one day. An important …

Intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves are widely used to quantify the probability of
occurrence of rainfall extremes. The usual rain gauge-based approach provides accurate …

Summary Intensity–Duration–Frequency (IDF) curves are widely used in flood risk
management because they provide an easy link between the characteristics of a rainfall …

The design of hydraulic structures requires knowledge of how much rain is likely to fall within
a certain amount of time and over a specific area. Point rainfalls are only representative for a …

The adjustment of precipitation depth of a point storm to an effective (mean) depth over a
watershed is important for characterizing rainfall-runoff relations and for cost-effective …

The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined
by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust …

For the last several decades, great efforts have been put into converting point precipitation
into mean areal precipitation in the design of hydraulic and hydrologic infrastructures. The …
