Key data and code for "Urbanization further intensifies short-duration rainfall extremes in a warmer climate"

This repository folder contains data and Matlab function scripts that are used as the basis for the paper "Urbanization exacerbates intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes in a warming climate" 

The data include

• 30-year hourly 0.1° rainfall data over the Greater Bay Area (GBA), China, obtained by multi-source merging and correction techniques
• Calculated annual maximum rain rate at each grid of various time scales based on the merged product
• Land-use maps of the area in 1980 and 2018
• Boundary polygons of the GBA in WGS1984
• Classified grids with marked urban and rural land cover types

The codes include

• Fundamental scripts for nonstationary frequency analysis, examples performed for the gridded data of the GBA
• The function to perform Man-Kendall trend analysis for the calculated nonstationary return levels
