Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

The present work reviews the main challenges regarding adaptation of urban drainage
networks to climate change by comparing 32 case studies from 29 articles, published …

An extreme (weather or climate) event is generally defined as the occurrence of a value of a
weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) …

Interest in attributing the risk of damaging weather-related events to anthropogenic climate
change is increasing. Yet climate models used to study the attribution problem typically do …

The occurrence of exceptionally heavy rainfall events and associated flash floods in many
areas during recent years motivate us to study long-term changes in extreme rainfall over …

Projections of changes in climate extremes are critical to assessing the potential impacts of
climate change on human and natural systems. Modeling advances now provide the …

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

An analysis of the climate of precipitation extremes as simulated by six European regional
climate models (RCMs) is undertaken in order to describe/quantify future changes and to …

Climate change is expected to modify rainfall, temperature and catchment hydrological
responses across the world, and adapting to these water-related changes is a pressing …

Millions of people in Indian sub-continent are affected by floods, which have increased
during the past decades and likely to increase further in response to warming climate …
