The frequency of extreme rainfall events in Southern Brazil is impacted by Ell Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) episodes, especially in austral spring. There are two areas in which this impact is more significant: one ...

© 2022 by the authors.The number of natural disasters triggered by extreme events is increasing worldwide and significantly impacts modern society. Extreme rainfall is one of the most important factors contributing to these ...

The present work seeks to approach the natural disasters and extreme events that affect the southeast of Brazil, specifically the municipality of Bauru, in the state of São Paulo. Firstly, the text brings some theoretical ...

Extreme rainfall generated by storms and atmospheric instability causes innumerable damage to coastal areas and their marine ecosystems. This chapter describes some of the processes that generate critical precipitation ...

Extreme events such as rogue waves are often associated with the merging of coherent structures. We report on experimental results in the physics of extreme events emerging in a liquid-crystal light valve subjected to ...

The most extreme precipitation event in Metropolitan Lima (ML) occurred on 15 January 1970 (16 mm), this event caused serious damage, and the real vulnerability of this city was evidenced; the population is still not ...

We report experimental and theoretical evidence of the existence of extreme value events in the form of scarce and randomly emerging giant pulses in the femtosecond (self-pulsing or Kerr-lens mode-locked) Ti:sapphire laser. ...
