Hydroclimatic extremes such as intense rainfall, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wind or
storms have devastating effects each year. One of the key challenges for society is …

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

Anomalies in the frequency of river floods, ie, flood-rich or-poor periods, cause biases in
flood risk estimates and thus make climate adaptation measures less efficient. While …

The detection and attribution of long-term patterns in hydrological time series have been
important research topics for decades. A significant portion of the literature regards such …

During the last century, we have observed a warming climate with more intense precipitation
extremes in some regions, likely due to increases in the atmosphere's water holding …

Study region We investigate samples from two Italian regions, ie Lazio and Sicily, located in
central and south Italy, respectively, and characterized by two diverse climates. Study focus …

Evolving climate conditions and anthropogenic factors, such as CO 2 emissions,
urbanization and population growth, can cause changes in weather and climate extremes …

Estimates of flood event magnitudes with a certain return period are required for the design
of hydraulic structures. While the return period is clearly defined in a univariate context, its …

Hydroclimatic time series analysis focuses on a few feature types (eg, autocorrelations,
trends, extremes), which describe a small portion of the entire information content of the …

The accurate estimation of hydrologic extremes is central to planning and engineering
mitigation and adaptation measures. The traditional extreme value theory is based on often …
