On the value of hourly precipitation extremes in regional climate model simulations
Original language description
Hourly precipitation extremes in the Netherlands in eight transient (1951?2099) and five ERA40 driven (1961?2000) regional climate model (RCM) simulations were analyzed. Generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions were fitted to the annual maximum amounts. Large differences were found between the estimated GEV parameters for the RCM simulations and those for an 11-year (1998?2008) high-quality radar data set. There were also large differences between the GEV parameters for different RCM simulations. The influence of the boundary conditions (ERA40 or a global climate model simulation for the present climate) on the extreme value distributions was in most cases small. A similar analysis for the daily precipitation extremes revealed much smaller differences between RCM simulations and a much better agreement with the results for the radar data.
