19 - use case: Rainfall intensity depends on temperature
Clausius-Clapeyron scaling holds even for very high temperatures, we just don’t have enough data yet to have observed the expected extreme rainfall intensities.
If quantiles are estimated by appropriately fitting a GDP and using its quantiles, extreme rainfall intensity estimates continue to rise with air temperature.

, might not run out of the box any more):
