The Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curve, or IDF Curve, is used in the fields of meteorology and hydrology to estimate the peak rainfall rate, or intensity, during a storm event. The peak rainfall rate experienced varies with the duration of the storm and the location of the storm on the earth...
Research has shown that about 50 percent of all rain happens at an intensity greater than 20 mm/hour while around 20 to 30 percent happens at 40 mm/hour or greater, and these likelihoods occur independently of the long-term average rainfall for locations. Properties of Runoff Scientists and ...

The speed limit on hurricane winds is relatively easy to calculate, said James Kossin, a climate scientist who is retired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and now consults for the climate risk modeling agency First Street. Sign up for the Live Science daily newslet...
To calculate a robust climate change signal, averaging over a time period of 20– 30 years in the future as well as over a 20 –30 years historical time period would be required (Hawkins et al., 2020; IPCC, 2013). Due to limited computing power convection-permitting simulations are ...
In addition, to calculate the sea–land thermal difference and sea–land pressure difference in the East Asian monsoon region, the definitions proposed by Sun et al. were also adopted in this paper91: $${WE\; Temp}={{ta}s}_{\left(27^{\circ} {-}35^{\circ} N,105^{\circ} {-}12...
Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flood-resilient structures, but relatively little is kno...
This type of occurrences, such as heatwaves and droughts, have increased in frequency and intensity since 1950, as a result of global warming. The most recent IPCC report (2021) indicates that an average increase of 0.5 °C in air temperature will lead to a rise in the intensity and ...
modellers have been able to calculate that some weather events just would not have occurred if the world had not already warmed by 1.1c, compared to pre-industrial levels. while there are several drivers of increased displacement and migration, the link to climate has...
The kebelle is situated between 2400 m and 2700 m above sea level and the average annual rainfall is around 1400 mm/a (Tekleab, Mohamed, Uhlenbrook, & Wenninger, 2014). In particular we use: (1) observations of people’s activities and the functioning of drainage and soil conservation ...
