Given that gridded daily precipitation data products dampen local extremes, we create a new “probabilistic” gridded product specifically designed to characterize the climatological properties of extreme precipitation by applying spatial statistical analyses to daily measurements of precipitation from the GHCN over CONUS.
The Calibrated and Systematic Characterization, Attribution, and Detection of Extremes (CASCADE) project advances the Nation’s ability to identify and project climate extremes and how they are impacted by environmental drivers.
