Thank you for sharing! As for the central US, we looked at this quite a bit with David Lavers and Munir Nayak. Here are a couple of references related to floods in this area that may be of interest.

Absolutely! Among others, Katie Hirschboeck (tinyurl.com/yc8796jd) did a lot of great work on this! For a while, we seem to have focused more on fitting distributions rather than thinking about processes. Here is another study (tinyurl.com/3mamch4s) with many useful references.

We have developed a mixed-distribution approach for floods here (tinyurl.com/yc7yyhhh) and applied it to the projected changes in flood magnitude (tinyurl.com/3knapzz4) and duration (tinyurl.com/muxcch87) ...and there is more to come 😃

Thank you, Kelly! Mixed distributions can have large impacts on the results of the analyses. This kind of work gets us closer to process-driven analyses
