Short-term intensive storms of duration up to an hour the years 1980–2007 from rain gauges in Malmö have been analyzed to find intensities of long return periods. Non-dependent observations from different stations have been combined into a series to which probability functions have been adjusted. The extreme events have been investigated individually. The reliability of […]
