Cover Story: Traditionally, fitting probability distribution functions to observed data has been the standard method for predicting future design floods. However, this approach may not fully capture the anticipated shifts in extreme events due to climate change. To address this challenge and advance the accuracy of future flood design, we have investigated a new approach by leveraging the latest data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5 and CMIP6) and our research examines the impacts of precipitation changes on the magnitude and frequency of extreme events. Through a comprehensive analysis of CMIP5 and CMIP6 data spanning 146 years and encompassing various multidecadal timescales from 1954 to 2100, we unveil a novel application of General Circulation Models (GCM) aimed at improving climate-informed flood risk management.
