Key data and code for "Urbanization further intensifies short-duration rainfall extremes in a warmer climate"

This repository folder contains data and Matlab function scripts that are used as the basis for the paper "Urbanization exacerbates intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes in a warming climate" 

The data include

30-year hourly 0.1° rainfall data over the Greater Bay Area (GBA), China, obtained by multi-source merging and correction techniques

Calculated annual maximum rain rate at each grid of various time scales based on the merged product

Land-use maps of the area in 1980 and 2018

Boundary polygons of the GBA in WGS1984

Classified grids with marked urban and rural land cover types

The codes include

Fundamental scripts for nonstationary frequency analysis, examples performed for the gridded data of the GBA

The function to perform Man-Kendall trend analysis for the calculated nonstationary return levels
