Journal ArticleDOI
Statistics of extremes in hydrology
TL;DR: In this article, statistical downscaling of hydrologic extremes is considered, and future challenges such as the development of more rigorous statistical methodology for regional analysis of extremes, as well as the extension of Bayesian methods to more fully quantify uncertainty in extremal estimation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme events in a changing climate: Variability is more important than averages
Richard W. Katz,Barbara G. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: This article showed that the frequency of such events is relatively more dependent on any changes in the variability (more generally, the scale parameter) than in the mean of climate, and that this sensitivity is relatively greater the more extreme the event.

Journal ArticleDOI
US billion-dollar weather and climate disasters: data sources, trends, accuracy and biases
Adam B. Smith,Richard W. Katz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the US Billion-dollar Weather/Climate Disaster report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center and highlighted its strengths and limitations including sources of uncertainty and bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme High-Temperature Events: Changes in their probabilities with Changes in Mean Temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of daily temperature time series, specifically mean, variance and autocorrelation, were analyzed to determine possible ranges of probabilities of certain extreme temperature events [e.g., runs of consecutive daily maximum temperatures of at least 95°F (35°C)].
