2 views

Paper Summary

The researchers analyzed rainfall data in Phitsanulok province, Thailand, from 1987 to 2021 to predict extreme floods. They used mathematical models to estimate return levels for different time periods. The results showed that the Gumbel distribution was a good fit for extreme annual rainfall, with specific values for the parameters. The generalized Pareto distribution was also used for daily rainfall data, showing an increasing trend in return levels with longer periods.
