Abstract

Based on hourly precipitation data in eastern China in the warm season during 1961–2000, spatial distributions of frequency for 20 mm h−1 and 50 mm h−1 precipitation were analyzed, and the criteria of short-duration rainfall events and severe rainfall events are discussed. Furthermore, the percentile method was used to define local hourly extreme precipitation; based on this, diurnal variations and trends in extreme precipitation were further studied.
