"KEY POINTS
• BURGER is the first global IDF data set derived from observations of sub-daily rainfall
• Sub-daily rainfall intensities are computed with the Simplified Metastatistical Extreme Value (SMEV) approach for a range of return periods
• BURGER intensities compare well with expected intensities, indicated by an interquartile range of the percentage bias between −5% and 5%..”

This brings me back to a long-standing frustration from my #researchmanagement years: This list of individually perfectly fine researchers (I assume, know only one well myself) has one major flaw: If you want diversity do it properly! IPCC had similar challenges.

🌟 Just released! 🌟
UN Global Sustainable Development Report by independent scientists urges science-driven transformation to rapidly advance #SDGs.
