(2017). Relevance of the correlation between precipitation and the 0°C isothermal altitude for extreme flood estimation. Journal of Hydrology, 551, 177‑187. https://doi.org/10.1016/ Extreme floods are commonly estimated with the help of design storms and hydrological models. In this paper, we propose a new method to take into account the relationship between precipitation intensity (P) and air temperature (T) to account for potential snow… Read More
