This study committee will consider approaches for estimating probable maximum precipitation (PMP) in a changing climate, with the goal of recommending an updated approach, appropriate for ...

Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) represents the greatest depth of rainfall theoretically possible for a given duration and location under the most severe meteorological conditions. In a warming ...

High-hazard structures in the United States, including dams and nuclear power plants, have been engineered for more than 75 years to withstand floods resulting from the PMP, a design standard based on ...
