Understanding Climate and Extreme Weather Events in the Greater New York Area Final Technical Report

Summary

The Greater New York City area faces an increasing risk from high-intensity rainfall events due to climate change. This project developed a framework using climate data and models to assess these changing risks, creating nonstationary stochastic models to project future extreme precipitation probabilities. The project has successfully concluded, with findings published in a high-impact journal, supporting student research, and securing follow-on funding, contributing critical data for urban stormwater management planning.
