abstract = {Probable maximum precipitation (PMP), defined as the
largest rainfall depth that could physically occur under a
series of adverse atmospheric conditions, has been an
important design criterion for critical infrastructures such
as dams and nuclear power plants. To understand how PMP may
respond to projected future climate forcings, we used a
physics-based numerical weather simulation model to estimate
PMP across various durations and areas over the
Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) River Basin in the
southeastern United States. Six sets of Weather Research and
Forecasting (WRF) model experiments driven by both
reanalysis and global climate model projections, with a
total of 120 storms, were conducted. The depth-area-duration
relationship was derived for each set of WRF simulations and
compared with the conventional PMP estimates. Our results
showed that PMP driven by projected future climate forcings
is higher than 1981–2010 baseline values by around $20\%$
in the 2021–2050 near-future and $44\%$ in the 2071–2100
far-future periods. The additional sensitivity simulations
of background air temperature warming also showed an
enhancement of PMP, suggesting that atmospheric warming
could be one important factor controlling the increase in
PMP. In light of the projected increase in precipitation
extremes under a warming environment, the reasonableness and
role of PMP deserve more in-depth examination.},
