DOI: 10.1002/joc.7040
Abstract: Using Generalized Extreme Value analysis, this study details the independent seasonal impacts of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on rainfall extremes that cause many hydro‐meteorological hazards and affect vulnerable populations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-024-07440-7
Abstract: Large-scale atmospheric circulations are a significant driver of rainfall extremes. However, little attention has so far been devoted to understanding how large-scale circulation patterns influence sub-daily rainfall extremes. Using a gauge-based sub-daily rainfall dataset, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10113-020-01706-6
Abstract: More than 40% of the human population reside in global tropical zones despite the extreme climates that frequently approach the upper thermotolerance levels for human physical activity and societal flourishing. Many of these regions also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11269-017-1626-5
Abstract: The rainfall events of extreme magnitude over the past few decades have caused destructive damages to lives and properties, especially in the subcontinent (e.g. Pakistan, India, Bangladesh etc). Rainfall hazard maps for these areas can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020ef001824
Abstract: Precipitation extremes are expected to intensify under climate change with consequent impacts in flooding and ecosystem functioning. Here we use station data and high‐resolution simulations from the WRF convection permitting climate model (∼4 km, 1… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl088758
Abstract: Although observations and modeling studies show that heavy rainfall is increasing in many regions, how changes will manifest themselves on sub‐daily timescales remains highly uncertain. Here, for the first time, we combine observational analysis and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl105258
Abstract: Strong positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) events like those in 1997 and 2019 caused significant flooding in East Africa. While future projections indicate an increase in pIOD events, limited historical data hinders a comprehensive understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl113576
Abstract: The probability estimation of rare or yet unobserved events is essential for hazard quantification, especially in the frequent case of short observational records. Data limitations can be mitigated by using regionalization techniques, which augment observational… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-018-0245-3
Abstract: Temperature scaling studies suggest that hourly rainfall magnitudes might increase beyond thermodynamic expectations with global warming1–3; that is, above the Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) rate of ~6.5% °C−1. However, there is limited evidence of such increases in long-term… read more here.
