Simulating sub-daily Intensity-Frequency-Duration curves in Australia using a dynamical high-resolution regional climate model

摘要

Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights?Sub-daily extreme-rainfall IFDs are simulated using a convection-parametrizing RCM.?The RCM performs well for events of 3 or more hours in duration at the study locations.?Projections of future sub-daily extreme-rainfall events are examined.?Increases in sub-daily rainfall intensity of ～15% per °C of warming are projected.AbstractClimate change has the potential to significantly alter the characteristics of high-intensity, short-duration rainfall events, potentially leading to more severe and more frequent flash floods. Research has shown that future changes to s
