The Mann et al. 1998 paper

The Mann et al. (1998) paper investigates how extreme rainfall events are affected by changing climate conditions. The researchers analyze historical data and models to determine whether such storms are becoming more intense or frequent. They find that while some increases in heavy rainfall are linked to climate variability, overall trends are uncertain due to natural fluctuations and limitations in data. Their work highlights the importance of understanding how climate change might influence severe weather, which is crucial for planning and adapting to future risks. The study emphasizes cautious interpretation of current trends and the need for continued research.
