Journal ArticleDOI
Global and regional increase of precipitation extremes under global warming.
TL;DR: Papalexiou et al. as mentioned in this paper performed a global analysis of 12 8730 daily precipitation records focusing on the 1964-2013 period when the global warming accelerates, and introduced a novel analysis of the N largest extremes in records having N complete years within the study period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Battle of extreme value distributions: A global survey on extreme daily rainfall
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the annual maximum daily rainfall of 15,137 records from all over the world, with lengths varying from 40 to 163 years, and analyzed the fitting results focusing on the behavior of the shape parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) produces the latest generation of satellite precipitation estimates and has been widely used since its release in 2014 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Extremes and Compound Hazards in a Warming World
Amir AghaKouchak,Felicia Chiang,Laurie S. Huning,C. A. Love,Iman Mallakpour,Omid Mazdiyasni,Hamed Moftakhari,Simon Michael Papalexiou,Elisa Ragno,Mojtaba Sadegh +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the threats posed by climate extremes to human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural and built environments (e.g., 2003 European heat wave).
Journal ArticleDOI
How extreme is extreme? An assessment of daily rainfall distribution tails.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the distribution tails for daily rainfall by comparing the upper part of empirical distributions of thousands of records with four common the- oretical tails: those of the Pareto, Lognormal, Weibull and Gamma distributions.
