Abstract

The vital question that motivated this chapter is to what extent are universally accepted, stationary Probable Maximum Precipitation values as published in Hydrometeorological Reports, representative of current and future climate behavior given our current understanding of changes to climate? To the best of our knowledge, none have explored the extent to which PMP values are altered using a replication of the procedures outlined in the Hydrometeorological Reports coupled with future climate data from numerical modeling tools or observational analyses of climatic trends.
