Ensemble flood forecasting: A review

TL;DR: The scientific drivers of this shift towards ‘ensemble flood forecasting’ and the literature evidence of the ‘added value’ of flood forecasts based on EPS are reviewed.

Spatial and temporal patterns of large-scale droughts in Europe: model dispersion and performance

TL;DR: This article explored the performance of a suite of off-line, global (hydrological and land surface) models in mapping spatial and temporal patterns of large-scale hydrological droughts in Europe from simulated runoff in the period 1963-2000.

High risk of unprecedented UK rainfall in the current climate

TL;DR: Analysis of a large ensemble of high-resolution initialised climate simulations shows that this event could have been anticipated, and that in the current climate there remains a high chance of exceeding the observed record monthly rainfall totals in many regions of the UK.

Multisite flooding hazard assessment in the Upper Mississippi River

TL;DR: Ghizzoni et al. as mentioned in this paper presented an assessment of the joint probability distribution able to describe multi-site multi-basin flood scenarios in a high dimensionality framework, which was pursued through two different approaches: the multivariate skew- t distribution and the Student copula with arbitrary margins.

Stationarity Is Dead: Whither Water Management?

TL;DR: Climate change undermines a basic assumption that historically has facilitated management of water supplies, demands, and risks and threatens to derail efforts to conserve and manage water resources.
