TL;DR: This article used several climate models to estimate the global risk of flooding at the end of the century and showed that vulnerability is dependent on the degree of warming and the interannual variability in precipitation.

Statistics of extremes in hydrology
TL;DR: In this article, statistical downscaling of hydrologic extremes is considered, and future challenges such as the development of more rigorous statistical methodology for regional analysis of extremes, as well as the extension of Bayesian methods to more fully quantify uncertainty in extremal estimation are reviewed.

Accepting the standardized precipitation index: a calculation algorithm1
TL;DR: The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a probability index that was developed to give a better representation of abnormal wetness and dryness than the Palmer indices.
