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