Estimates and uncertainties of return periods of extreme daily precipitation in Germany
For 1769 meteorological stations in Germany records of daily precipitation amounts with not more than one missing day are available for the period 1951 to 2000. We fit Gumbel distributions to annual maximum daily, two-day and three-day precipitation amounts. We show that the Gumbel distribution fits...
