Abstract

The pluvial and fluvial flooding in the United Kingdom over the summer of 2007arose as a result of anomalous climatic conditions that persisted for over a month.Gaining an understanding of the sequencing of storm events and representing theircharacteristics within flood risk analysis is therefore of...
