Short summary
A method for estimating extreme rainfall from radar observations is provided. Extreme value statistics are applied on merged radar rainfall product covering different area sizes from a single point up to about 1000 km2. The rainfall extremes are supposed to decrease as the area increases. This behavior could not be confirmed by the radar observations. The reason is the limited single-point sampling approach for extreme value analysis. New multiple-point sampling strategies are proposed to mitigate this problem.
