 @article{kunkel_karl_squires_yin_stegall_easterling_2020, title={Precipitation Extremes: Trends and Relationships with Average Precipitation and Precipitable Water in the Contiguous United States}, volume={59}, ISSN={["1558-8432"]}, DOI={10.1175/JAMC-D-19-0185.1}, abstractNote={Abstract Trends of extreme precipitation (EP) using various combinations of average return intervals (ARIs) of 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 years with durations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 days were calculated regionally across the contiguous United States. Changes in the sign of the trend of EP vary by region as well as by ARI and duration, despite the statistically significant upward trends for all combinations of EP thresholds when area averaged across the contiguous United States. Spatially, there is a pronounced east-to-west gradient in the trends of the EP with strong upward trends east of the Rocky Mountains. In general, upward trends are larger and more significant for longer ARIs, but the contribution to the trend in total seasonal and annual precipitation is significantly larger for shorter ARIs because they occur more frequently. Across much of the contiguous United States, upward trends of warm-season EP are substantially larger than those for the cold season and have a substantially greater effect on the annual trend in total precipitation. This result occurs even in areas where the total precipitation is nearly evenly divided between the cold and warm seasons. When compared with short-duration events, long-duration events—for example, 30 days—contribute the most to annual trends. Coincident statistically significant upward trends of EP and precipitable water (PW) occur in many regions, especially during the warm season. Increases in PW are likely to be one of several factors responsible for the increase in EP (and average total precipitation) observed in many areas across the contiguous United States.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY}, author={Kunkel, Kenneth E. and Karl, Thomas R. and Squires, Michael F. and Yin, Xungang and Stegall, Steve T. and Easterling, David R.}, year={2020}, month={Jan}, pages={125–142} }
