Abstract: For practical applications both the parent distribution of rainfall intensifies and the distribution of their annual maxima are of interest. The relation between these two distributions cannot be obtained from classical ...

Abstract: ainfall extremes are thought to have increased over recent years. Typically linear trends have been considered to describe the temporal evolution of high quantiles of the daily rainfall distribution. For long records it ...

Abstract: Two tests for differences in the lag 1 autocorrelation coefficient based on jackknife estimates are proposed. These tests are developed for the pooled sample of all daily values in a certain calendar mouth (e.g., all January ...

Abstract: aily precipitation series from more than 1800 stations across Europe are analyzed for the fraction of the total precipitation due to very wet days: that is, days with precipitation amounts exceeding the 95th percentile. ...

Abstract: The merits of daily and monthly downscaling models for precipitation are compared using data from Bern, Switzerland; Deuselbach, Germany; and De Bilt, the Netherlands. For each station, generalized linear models are developed ...
