Seasonal Cycle in German Daily Precipitation Extremes

Seasonal Cycle in German Daily Precipitation Extremes

The seasonal cycle of extreme precipitation in Germany is investigated by fitting statistical models to monthly maxima of daily precipitation sums for 2,865 rain gauges. The basis is a non-stationary generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution variation of location and scale parameters. The negativ...
