Statistical Modelling of Climate Extremes/Extreme Precipitation under Climate Change

Dear Colleagues,

The frequency of heavy precipitation/climate extreme events have increased over time and is projected to increase across the globe under future climate change. Increases in extreme precipitation have contributed to increase severe flooding events in certain regions of the world. Floods and flooding associated with tropical storms result the highest number of deaths. In addition to the immediate health hazards associated with extreme precipitation events when flooding occurs, other hazards can often appear once a storm has passed. At the opposite end of precipitation extremes, drought also poses risks to public health and safety. Drought conditions may increase the environmental exposure to a broad set of health hazards including wildfires, dust storms, extreme heat events, flash flooding, degraded water quality, and reduced water quantity.

This special issue welcomes all those manuscripts presenting-

• Climate extremes and their impact
• Extreme precipitation
• Floods
• Cyclones and cyclone induced rainfall
• Drought
• Role of climate variability and modes—El Nino Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole, North Atlantic Oscillation, Arctic Oscillation, Antarctic Oscillation and so on

• Statistical methods
