This book provides a collection of the state-of-the-art
methodologies and approaches suggested for detecting extremes,
trend analysis, accounting for nonstationarities, and uncertainties
associated with extreme value analysis in a changing climate. This
volume is designed so that it can be used as the primary reference
on the available methodologies for analysis of climate extremes.
Furthermore, the book addresses current hydrometeorologic global
data sets and their applications for global scale analysis of
extremes. While the main objective is to deliver recent theoretical
concepts, several case studies on extreme climate conditions are
provided. Audience The book is suitable for teaching in graduate
courses in the disciplines of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Earth System Science, Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences.
This volume is a collection of a selected number of articles based
on presentations at the 2005 L'Aquila (Italy) Summer School on the
topic of "Hydrologic Modeling and Water Cycle: Coupling of the
Atmosphere and Hydrological Models". The p- mary focus of this
volume is on hydrologic modeling and their data requirements,
especially precipitation. As the eld of hydrologic modeling is
experiencing rapid development and transition to application of
distributed models, many challenges including overcoming the
requirements of compatible observations of inputs and outputs must
be addressed. A number of papers address the recent advances in the
State-of-the-art distributed precipitation estimation from
satellites. A number of articles address the issues related to the
data merging and use of geo-statistical techniques for addressing
data limitations at spatial resolutions to capture the h-
erogeneity of physical processes. The participants at the School
came from diverse backgrounds and the level of - terest and active
involvement in the discussions clearly demonstrated the importance
the scienti c community places on challenges related to the
coupling of atmospheric and hydrologic models. Along with my
colleagues Dr. Erika Coppola and Dr. Kuolin Hsu, co-directors of
the School, we greatly appreciate the invited lectures and all the
participants. The members of the local organizing committee, Drs
Barbara Tomassetti; Marco Verdecchia and Guido Visconti were
instrumental in the success of the school and their contributions,
both scienti cally and organizationally are much appreciated.
