Maximum annual daily precipitation is a fundamental hydrologic variable that does not attain
asymptotic conditions. Thus the classical extreme value theory (ie, the Fisher-Tippett's …

A unified approach of observation and modeling was applied to the investigation of three
circulation types that typically bring rain to southeastern Australia. Observations from the …

A detailed analysis of how intermittency (ie, the alternation of dry and rainy periods)
modulates the rate at which sub-daily rainfall extremes depend on temperature is presented …

Drop size distribution represents the statistical synthesis of rainfall dynamics at particle size
scale. Gamma and Lognormal distributions have been widely used in the literature to …

The adequacy of the gamma model to describe the variability of raindrop size distributions
(DSD) is studied using observations from an optical disdrometer. Model adequacy is …

Precipitation displays a remarkable variability in space and time. An important yet poorly
documented aspect of this variability is intermittency. In this paper, a new way of quantifying …

Study region A network of 25 rain gauges roughly covering an area of 517.2 km 2 of
Warsaw, in Poland. Study focus Scaling and intermittency of data series of rainfall intensity …

The annual maximum amount of rainfall over a fixed duration, area, and level of occurrence
is generally described by intensity–duration–area–frequency (IDAF) curves. The annual …
