Abstract:In the present study extreme rainfall frequency analysis was performed using block maxima (BM) and peaks over threshold (POT) approaches based on daily rainfall data gathered from three meteorological stations in Greece (Larisa, Agxialos, Trikala). In the first method, 9 different probability distributions (2 and 3 parameter distributions) were fitted to the samples (that were previously checked for randomness, trends and change points in the mean) in order to estimate rainfall depths for high return periods. … Show more
