Recombining past event precipitation and antecedent catchment states generates unprecedented floods
Abstract River floods that exceed historical records often occur unexpectedly, causing widespread damage and disruption. To improve disaster preparedness, it is crucial to explore exceptional flood scenarios that surpass past observations. Here we introduce a perfect storm approach that recombines h...
