Storm Water Management Using a High Density Rainfall Network Along With Long Term Records
… Paper No. 40 (TP-40) in 1961 which provides a rainfall atlas for the United States. These rainfall frequencies have been used by engineers throughout the United States including Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Rainfall from Audubon and the New Orleans International Airport rain gauge stations were …

Hydrologic simulation of storm water detention storage in an urbanizing flood-plan
… runoff. Particular problems exist where high rainfall intensities and low topographic relief combine with rapid urban development to produce potential flooding. Traditional approaches to flood control emphasize channelization of main streams and laterals to speed urban runoff out of developed …

Potential implications of climate change for Rooibos (A. linearis) production and distribution in the greater Cederberg region, South Africa
… parameters important for rooibos production (rainfall frequency and intensity, temperature extremes and wind speed) have shown that plants will experience a shorter period of water availability during winter, and prolonged exposure to summer conditions (high temperatures and water stress) in …

Extreme Value Analysis of Rainfall Events Over the Kennedy Space Center Complex
… Extreme-value theory can quantify the return frequency of the most extreme events, using climatologically short data sets and the assumption that such short climatological periods are stationary. However, the resulting analyses must be used with caution since they may not accurately reflect …

Climate Change and Virtual Water: Implications for UK Food Security
… temperatures, spatio-temporal variability in rainfall, frequency and severity of droughts and soil water stresses to crops. Due to the crucial role of water in crop growth and yield formation, prolonged or severe soil water deficits in crop producing areas can result in substantial yield …

CWRF summer precipitation prediction over the United States land and coastal oceans: effects of ensemble cumulus parameterization closures
… geographic variation of total amount, frequency and intensity, and the diurnal cycle. In particular, coarse-resolution climate models have low predictive skills at regional scales, while the higher-resolution regional climate/weather models show improved downscaling skill but still …
