HYDROLOGICAL

Extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall are expected to become more frequent in the future as average surface temperatures rise, according to the fifth assessment report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).As the most important driving factor of urban waterlogging, flood, landslide and other disasters, extreme rainfall has the characteristics of high dynamic spatiotemporal evolution. Accurate identification and efficient prediction of its structure and spatiotemporal variation play an important role in the change of surface hydrological response...
