    Changes in Hourly and Daily Extreme Rainfall Amounts in NJ since the Publication of NOAA Atlas 14 Volume
    (Ithaca, NY : Cornell University, Northeast Regional Climate Center, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Science, 2021-10) DeGaetano, Arthur; Tran, Harrison
    In recent decades the frequency of extreme rainfall has increased in New Jersey and across the Northeast. These changes affect the magnitudes of the published extreme rainfall statistics that are used in engineering design specifications, environmental and stormwater regulations, and resiliency planning. The current extreme rainfall values used in New Jersey are based on a data record ending in 2000. With 20 years of additional precipitation data now available, this report assesses the magnitude by which design rainfall extremes have changed in the state.
