Abstract Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves–sometimes also called precipitation
frequency estimates–are used to design urban drainage systems for stormwater control and …

Probabilistic modelling and statistical analysis of environmental conditions is important for
the design and assessment of ships and other marine structures. It will give a necessary …

Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws
translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives …

Drought is one of the main threats to food security and ecosystem productivity. During the
past decades, Europe has experienced a series of droughts that caused substantial …

To seek stochastic analogies in key processes related to the hydrological cycle, an extended
collection of several billions of data values from hundred thousands of worldwide stations is …

Precipitation extremes are expected to intensify under climate change with consequent
impacts in flooding and ecosystem functioning. Here we use station data and high …

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 …

Multi‐model climate experiments carried out as part of different phases of the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) are crucial to evaluate past and future climate …

Continuous hydrologic modelling is a natural evolution of the event-based design approach
in modern hydrology. It improves the rainfall-runoff transformation and provides the …

Stochastic simulations of spatiotemporal patterns of hydroclimatic processes, such as
precipitation, are needed to build alternative but equally plausible inputs for water‐related …
