The SQM model – Hydrometeorology and Surface Processes

The Spatial Quantile Mapping (SQM) is a simple method for spatially adjusting the structure of design storms. This method enables the morphing of recorded precipitation fields (intensities, storm area and spatial structure) following, e.g., changes in climate
