jchiappa/extreme_rainfall: ERE Database

Source code for the database of extreme rainfall events used in Chiappa et al. (2024), including the output from 2002-2023. Please refer to the GitHub repository for the latest version. https://github.com/jchiappa/extreme_rainfall

Note: A new and improved version of this software is now available as of February 2025. A bug was discovered in the original version where some concurrent events were not counted. Fixing this issue does not significantly impact the results of the published work, but the total area of several events should be larger than previously reported.
