Abstract The Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) initiative of the International Association
of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), launched in 2003 and concluded by the PUB Symposium …

A wide variety of processes controls the time of occurrence, duration, extent, and severity of
river floods. Classifying flood events by their causative processes may assist in enhancing …

The management of flash flood hazards and risks is a critical component of public safety and
quality of life. Flash-floods develop at space and time scales that conventional observation …

We analyze the controls on flood duration based on the concept of comparative hydrology.
Rather than modeling a single catchment in detail, we compare catchments with contrasting …

Flood hydrologic response is influenced by rainfall structure (ie, variability in space and
time). How this structure shapes flood frequency is unknown, and flood frequency analyses …

The ability to characterize hydrologically relevant differences between places is at the core
of our science. A common way to quantitatively characterize hydrological catchments is …

This is the third of a three-part paper series through which we assess the performance of
runoff predictions in ungauged basins in a comparative way. Whereas the two previous …

This study proposes a new process‐based framework to characterize and classify runoff
events of various magnitudes occurring in a wide range of catchments. The framework uses …

The authors examine the hydroclimatology, hydrometeorology, and hydrology of extreme
floods through analyses that center on the June 2008 flooding in Iowa. The most striking …

A generalised framework of space-time variability in flood response is used to characterise
five flood events of different type in the Kamp area in Austria: one long-rain event, two short …
