A new flood type classification method for use in climate change impact studies

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2016
AbstractFlood type classification is an optimal tool to cluster floods with similar meteorological triggering conditions. Under climate change these flood types may change differently as well as new flood types develop. This paper presents a new methodology to classify flood types, particularly for use in climate change impact studies.
