The Wisconsin Rainfall Project
The Wisconsin Rainfall Project provides present day and future extreme rainfall statistics for Wisconsin, created by the Hydroclimate Extremes Research Group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) and the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI). The project consists of two main components: 1) Present day extreme rainfall statistics from NOAA Atlas 14 and from UW-Madison's RainyDay software and 2) Projection of future extreme rainfall statistics using the UW Probabilistic Downscaling method.
