Heavy-tailed flood peak distributions: what is the effect of the spatial variability of rainfall and runoff generation?
<p>The statistical distributions of observed flood peaks often show heavy-tailed behaviour, meaning that extreme floods are more likely to occur than for distributions with an exponentially receding tail. Falsely assuming light-tailed behaviour can lead to an underestimation of extreme floods....
