Added Value of Large Ensemble Simulations for Assessing Extreme River Discharge in a 2 °C Warmer World
Abstract The assessment of return periods of extreme hydrological events often relies on statistical analysis using generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions. Here we compare the traditional GEV approach with a novel large ensemble approach to determine the added value of a direct, empirical dis...
