Statistical Characterization and Modeling of Precipitation Variability Across Scales

Session ID#: 76334

Session Description:
Quantifying and modeling precipitation variability are crucial tasks to improve water resources management, monitoring and prediction of extreme weather events, hydrologic modeling, and infrastructure design. This session welcomes contributions that use statistical methods to quantify and/or model precipitation variability across scales, in current and future climate scenarios. Particularly welcome are contributions where statistical analyses and modeling of precipitation are guided by a better understanding of the underlying physical processes, or are used to advance knowledge on such processes. Contributions focusing on one or more of the following topics are welcome:

  • Assessment and modeling of precipitation variability–including extremes–across multiple spatiotemporal scales utilizing different products;
  • Analysis and/or modeling of precipitation non-stationarity;
  • Precipitation studies based on innovative statistical methods, including deep learning;
  • Use of climate model outputs and reanalysis products to improve precipitation stochastic models.
