“…On a local scale, for sub-hourly and up to 6-hourly extreme precipitation, increases at or above the C-C rate have been found in the Netherlands (Lenderink and van Meijgaard, 2008;Lenderink et al, 2017), Switzerland (Ban et al, 2014), Germany (Berg et al, 2013), the UK (Blenkinsop et al, 2015), the Mediterranean (Drobinski et al, 2016), most of Australia Sharma, 2015, 2017;Schroeer and Kirchengast, 2017), North America (Shaw et al, 2011), and China (Miao et al, 2016), while in India (Ali and Mishra, 2017) and northern Australia (Hardwick Jones et al, 2010) negative rates have been reported. The extent of urbanization also contributes to extreme regional precipitation through the urban heat island effect and aerosol concentration (Dixon and Mote, 2003;Mölders and Olson, 2004;Guo et al, 2006;Mohsen and Gough, 2012;Wang et al, 2015). One of the first attempts to derive nonstationary IDF through the Bayesian inference (BI) approach for extreme value analysis was by Cheng and AghaKouchak (2014), where the authors introduced a linear trend in the parameters of the selected distribution.…”
