Conventional methods for designing infrastructure that is subject to flood risk, such as dams
and levees, assume a stationary design flood. However, observed and potential non …

In flood frequency analysis (FFA), annual maximum (AM) model is widely adopted in
practice due to its straightforward sampling process. However, AM model has been criticized …

11.21 for hot extremes (HOT EXT.), heavy precipitation (HEAVY PRECIP.), agriculture and …

Observed changes and impacts Ongoing climate trends have exacerbated many extreme
events (very high confidence). The Australian trends include further warming and sea level …

Despite the expectation that increases in rainfall with climatic change will result in increases
in pluvial flooding, there is more historical evidence for decreases in flood magnitude. In …

This study investigates the presence of trends in annual maximum daily streamflow data
from the Global Runoff Data Centre database, which holds records of 9213 stations across …

Abstract Concepts like the 100‐year flood event can be misleading if they are not updated to
reflect significant changes over time. Here, we model observed annual maximum daily …

There is overwhelming consensus that the intensity of heavy precipitation events is
increasing in a warming world. It is generally expected such increases will translate to a …

This study investigates global changes in indicators of mean and extreme streamflow. The
assessment is based on the Global Streamflow Indices and Metadata archive and focuses …

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most dominant interannual signal of climate
variability and has a strong influence on climate over large parts of the world. In turn, it …
