Changes in rainfall extremes over Southern Africa over the 20th and 21st centuries simulated by a high-resolution regional climate model and their connection to the Agulhas Current System
We analysed extreme precipitation over Southern Africa using high-resolution atmospheric CCLM simulations. The strongest precipitation occurs over Madagascar and the adjacent mainland. Extremes are generally
Annual maxima of sub-daily precipitation were extracted from each of 35 members of a EURO-CORDEX ensemble with a spatial resolution of 0.11° (EURO-CORDEX: https://www.euro-cordex.net/). Precipitation durations

Given the importance of sub-daily extreme precipitation events for the occurrence of pluvial floods, it is a key component in climate change adaptation to quantify the likelihood of such extreme events
Record disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes (or typhoons), tsunamis, widespread flooding and pollution, droughts, extremes of snowfalls and temperatures - all of which are associated with devastating
