Nonstationary behavior of recent climate increases concerns among hydrologists about the
currently used design rainfall estimates. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an analysis to …

Iran is a large country with diverse geophysical and climatic conditions which are influenced
by both large atmospheric circulation patterns and local effects. The density of rainfall station …

In a world of increasing exposure of populations to natural hazards, the map** of extreme
rainfall remains a key subject of study. Such maps are required for both flood risk …

Drought is a natural hazard which has slow onset and assessment of its vulnerability is
important for water resources management and sustainable development particularly in the …

Daily rainfall data from 31 rain gauges in Austria with a record of at least 50 years are used
to perform annual maximum and peaks‐over‐threshold analyses to address question …

Precipitation in northeastern Algeria is irregular, often exhibiting exceptional values.
Extreme precipitation events, such as annual maximum daily precipitation (AMDP), can …

This study presents a spatial clustering of precipitation in Iran based on gridded data from
the Precipitation Climatology Centre from 1951 to 2007. After standardizing the data, two …

Understanding the probability distributions of precipitation is crucial for predicting climatic
events and constructing hydraulic facilities. To overcome the inadequacy of precipitation …

Flood frequency analysis is essentially a problem of information scarcity in arid and semi-
arid regions. Practically in these regions, the length of records is usually too short to insure …

This paper presents a methodology for regional frequency analysis and spatial pattern
features of the Annual Maximum Dry Spell Length (AMDSL) as an indicator of drought …
