Frequency Bias Causes Overestimation of Climate Change Impacts on Global Flood Occurrence
Abstract The frequency change of 100‐year flood events is often determined by fitting extreme value distributions to annual maximum discharge from a historical base period. This study demonstrates that this approach may significantly bias the computed flood frequency change. An idealized experiment...
