Climatology and trends of observed daily and hourly extreme precipitation in the French Alps

Abstract. The French Alps are characterized by complex topography, which influences precipitation regimes and associated risks in various ways. Extreme precipitation, especially when it happens on very short timescales, can lead to flash floods and landslides with important socia...

Climatology and trends of extreme precipitation in France: evaluation of an explicit-convection regional climate model

Climate change is intensifying the global water cycle, with extreme precipitation events increasing in frequency and intensity at the global scale. While trends in daily precipitation extremes are well-documented, sub-daily extremes – critical for flash flood risk – remain poorly...
