Cover Story: Extreme precipitation frequency areal estimates over watersheds are key to estimating flood hazards and assessing hydrological risk. Max-stable process (MSP) models can be fitted to data collected over a spatial domain to directly estimate areal-based exceedances while accounting for spatial dependence in extremes. They have theoretical grounding within the framework of extreme value theory. MSP models do not depend upon the subjective assumptions associated with L-moments regional precipitation frequency analysis, e.g., the definition of homogeneous subareas and the need to convert point estimates into areal average depths using uncertain empirical regional depth–area reduction factors. The results from the study showed that MSPs can be robustly deployed to efficiently and dynamically support dam and levee safety applications. View this paper
