Abstract
Understanding the spatial and temporal occurrences of extreme rainfall events and their changes is crucial for reducing the risk associated with extreme events, especially under anthropogenic warming. This study presents a comparative analysis of twelve gridded rainfall datasets in representing the spatial and temporal variation of extreme rainfall events and trends in the recent past (1983–2015) in India. The selected datasets fall into four categories: gauge-based (APHRODITE, CPC, GPCC, REGEN), satellite-derived (CHIRPS, PERSIANN-CDR), reanalysis (ERA5, MERRA-2, PGF, and JRA-55), and product merged from these three types (WFDEI and MSWEP). For comparison, a gauge-based, high resolution (0...
