Toward an Improved Understanding of Rapid Transitions in Precipitation Extremes and Risk Assessment for the Midwest
Document Date
Document Description

The Midwest region regularly experiences precipitation extremes, both flood and drought. However, these extremes and their corresponding impacts are typically studied and communicated independently, without consideration of the compound impacts due to a rapid transition from one extreme to the other (this study will refer to this type of event as a rapid transition in extremes, or RTE).
