Intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes and implications for flash flood risks
LOCATION
6 Carlton House Terrace
London
SW1Y 5AG
United Kingdom
A Royal Society meeting supported by The Royal Meteorological Society
Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor Hayley Fowler.
Extreme heavy precipitation is increasing in frequency and intensity, and results from new global sub-daily datasets and high-resolution modelling suggest that precipitation extremes will intensify more than anticipated based upon theoretical considerations. Understanding this process is vital in advancing the theoretical knowledge necessary for a step change in regional prediction from understanding the nature and drivers of precipitation extremes.
Information on the speakers and programme is available below. Speaker abstracts were available closer to the meeting. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting has taken place. Meeting papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.
