The aim of this paper is to explore how rainfall mechanisms and catchment characteristics
shape the relationship between rainfall and flood probabilities. We propose a new approach …

Urban flooding is a major issue worldwide, causing huge economic losses and serious
threats to public safety. One promising way to mitigate its impacts is to develop a real-time …

Using potentially best available rainfall data sets for the entire country of Japan (spatial
scales of 1‐and 20‐km), we analyze the 1–24 hr and city‐scale (1–400 km2) extreme …

As a national Agri-environmental Programme in Austria, ÖPUL subsidises mulching/no-till
and cover crops to mitigate soil erosion. In this study, the participation rates and …

Abstract Information on the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation is required by
public authorities, civil security departments, and engineers for the design of buildings and …

Abstract On 17 July 2021, storm “Bernd” hit the alpine region of Berchtesgadener Land
inducing short-duration heavy rainfall, which triggered flash floods, debris flows, landslides …

Extreme daily rainfall is an important trigger for floods in Bavaria. The dimensioning of water
management structures as well as building codes is based on observational rainfall return …

Compound droughts and heat waves have garnered increasing attentions due to their
disastrous impacts on the structure and function of ecosystems and societies. A drought is …

Storms and the resultant floods have always been catastrophic disasters and raised
increasing global concerns in the context of climate change. However, the relationships …

Precipitation is the most important input to hydrological models, and its spatial variability can
strongly influence modeled runoff. The highly dense station network WegenerNet (0.5 …
