Abstract :
In this paper, the extreme precipitation events in the Southeast Asia region were studied using the TRMM 3B42v7 gridded daily precipitation product. The daily rain rate data were used to construct intensity-probability distribution curves for daily rainfall. Our results indicate that extreme precipitation events seem to occur more frequently than predicted by the intensity-probability curves during El-Nino years.
