Peak flow and probability of exceedance data for Grid-to-Grid modelled widespread flooding events across mainland GB from 1980-2010 and 2050-2080
This data was generated for use in analysis of risk through catastrophe modelling using the Future Flows Explorer. It was generated and interpreted by UKCEH, working with Sayers & Partners Consultancy, as part of the AquaCAT project, part of the UK Climate Resilience Programme.

Provenance & quality
Probabilities of exceedance are computed pointwise using a mixed distribution, with an empirical distribution used for non-extreme values (below the 99.5% percentile) and a Generalised Pareto distribution used above, both fitted to the full time series of daily flow.
