Summary

Researchers developed and applied methods for separating discrete rainfall events from continuous records, fitting theoretical probability distributions, and detecting long-term trends in event characteristics, providing tools to better understand how climate change is affecting regional rainfall patterns.

This paper established that taking effective and sustainable actions against the impacts of climate change on the environment, especially at the regional scale, requires a good understanding of climate data, their distributions, and trends.
