The spatial distribution of rainfall intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) values, essential for hydrological applications, were estimated Catalunya, Spain. From a larger database managed by the Meteorological Service Catalunya and after rigorous quality control, 163 high-quality daily series spanning from 1942 to 2016, with an average length 39.8 years approximately one station per 200 km2, selected. A monofractal downscaling methodology was applied derive intensities sub-daily durations using reference 24 h duration as basis, followed interpolations on 1 km × grid. scaling parameter values have been found be higher in northwestern mountainous areas, influenced Atlantic climate, lower central–western driest zones. general negative gradient observed toward coastline, reflecting increasing influence Mediterranean Sea. IDF results are presented maps, providing intensity–frequency estimates between hour day, return periods 2 years, uncertainty below 12% 200-year period, shorter periods. These findings highlight need capture variations urban planning, flood climate resilience efforts.

The aim of this study was to analyze the application probability extreme water level predictions along entire Baltic Sea coast. In initial part work, critical sea levels off States were reviewed. These are related height breakwaters and determined on basis probabilistic methods. Then, heights theoretical in quantile range determined. Calculations performed using Gumbel Pearson III type distributions. Visualizations maximum minimum levels, as well calculations surface length coastline, made ArcGIS 10.2.1 software. A comparison from two periods showed that over last 60 years, there has been a stable trend an increase both observed 2.6 mm/year. At same time, return period for tide gauge stations reduced by average about 50%. It could thus be concluded hydrological hazards region appeared twice often they did first half 20th century.

Statistical distributions play a crucial role in water resources management and civil engineering, particularly for analyzing data variability predicting rare events with extremely long return periods (e.g., T = 1000 years, 10,000 years). Among these, the Pearson III (PE3) distribution is widely used hydrology flood frequency analysis (FFA). This study aims to provide comprehensive guide practical application of PE3 FFA. It explores five parameter estimation methods, presenting both exact newly developed approximate relationships calculating parameters factors. The relies on from four rivers varying morphometric characteristics record lengths. results highlight that distribution, when L-moments method, offers most reliable quantile estimates, characterized by smallest biases compared other methods 31% Nicolina River and, respectively, 5% Siret Ialomita Rivers) highest confidence events. Based these findings, approach recommended improve accuracy extreme flow forecasts.

Abstract Rainfall variability and extreme events significantly impact agriculture, water resource management, urban planning in South-Western Nigeria, a region characterized by distinct wet dry seasons. The study aims to analyse rainfall patterns, quantify events, estimate return periods using statistical models address the challenges posed these variations. Forty years of data (1983–2023) were analysed capture seasonal inter-annual variability. Extreme modelled Gumbel generalized value (GEV) distributions, with latter providing superior fit, as validated Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K–S) Anderson–Darling (A–D) tests. results show bimodal pattern peaks June–July September–October an "August break". Annual highlighted high-rainfall like 1995, 2009, 2019 low-rainfall such 2000 2015, influenced climate drivers ENSO AMO. intensities for 2, 10, 100 estimated at 1463 mm, 1647 1733 respectively, based on GEV model. findings emphasize need adaptive strategies, including improved storage systems, flood control infrastructure, climate-resilient agricultural practices. Future research should integrate projections anticipate trends under changing climatic conditions, supporting sustainable development disaster resilience region.

The research focuses on probabilistic modeling of maximum rainfall in Zielona Góra, Poland, to improve urban drainage system design. study utilizes archived pluviographic data from 1951 2020, collected at the IMWM-NRI meteorological station. These include 10 min records and aggregated hourly daily totals. employs various statistical distributions, including Fréchet, gamma, generalized exponential (GED), Gumbel, log-normal, Weibull, model intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) relationships. After testing goodness fit using Anderson–Darling test, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), relative residual mean square Error (rRMSE), GED distribution was found best describe patterns. A key outcome is development a new based distribution, allowing for estimation precipitation amounts different durations exceedance probabilities. However, highlights limitations, such as need more accurate local models standardized atlas Poland.
