The estimation of the recurrence rate and the distribution in severity of extreme ice events, which is required in order to determine design criteria for structures such as electric transmission lines, suffers from the fact that there appears to be a great variability in freezing rain events, in terms of duration, quantity of precipitation, and wind speed.
Regardless, changes in the frequency (R0.1), intensity (SDII), amplitude (R10) and duration (CWD) of precipitation events will increase the flood disaster area (Table 2).
For a given percentage change in precipitation, we're getting even greater changes in recharge rates". Among the most important factors, the team found, is the timing and duration of the precipitation.
The metrics for evaluation are the intensity and spatial distribution of the storm, its duration, the location of precipitation, and water accumulation at different grid resolutions.
By acting as "seeds" for water droplets, they influence cloud formation and the duration, amount, and type of precipitation.
Additionally, the duration of dry spells in precipitation is important for streamflow drought duration.
The climatic and microclimatic variables that significantly favoured grey mould development were: precipitation, duration of relative humidity >90% in the canopy and low potential evapotranspiration.
In this paper, an outline of the PMP estimation techniques is given and the use of data from the Czech gauges is described, the aim being the statistical derivation of the point and area PMP estimates for precipitation duration of 1 to 5 days.
Over the duration of the flux measurements, precipitation was detected on 262 days, amounting to 525 and 537 mm in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and 46 mm over the first 2 months in 2012 (Fig. 2).
