AbstractExtreme precipitation events impact infrastructure, including dams, culverts, nuclear power plants, and highways, that must be built and maintained to withstand these events over their lifetime. This project will address three fundamental questions aimed at advancing understanding of extreme precipitation: 1) how does the precipitation distribution depend on spatial and temporal scales? 2) what are the comparative roles of aerosol and greenhouse gas forcing in determining the precipitation distr
