New research by Fathom’s Senior Hydrologist, Dr Jannis Hoch, and other Fathom scientists describes Fathom’s new dataset, Bottom Up Regionalised Global Extreme Rainfall, or BURGER for short. It’s the first of its kind to be created from rainfall gauge data and the first to contain extreme estimates for durations as short as an hour.
