Short summary
The influence of climate change on areal precipitation extremes is examined. After an upscaling of reference observations, the climate model data are corrected, and a downscaling to a finer spatial scale is done. For different temporal durations and spatial scales, areal precipitation extremes are derived. The final result indicates an increase in the expected rainfall depth compared to reference values. However, the increase varied with the duration and area size.
