Abrupt drought termination in the British–Irish Isles driven by high atmospheric vapour transport
During protracted dry spells, there is considerable interest from water managers, media and the public in when and how drought termination (DT) will occur. Robust answers to these questions require better understanding of the hydroclimatic drivers of DT than currently available. Integrated vapour transport (IVT) has been found to drive DT in Western North America, but evidence elsewhere is lacking. To evaluate this association for the British–Iri…
Interpreting extreme climate impacts from large ensemble simulations—are they unseen or unrealistic
Large-ensemble climate model simulations can provide deeper understanding of the characteristics and causes of extreme events than historical observations, due to their larger sample size. However, adequate evaluation of simulated ‘unseen’ events that are more extreme than those seen in historical records is complicated by observational uncertainties and natural variability. Consequently, conventional evaluation and correction methods cannot dete…
Emergency flood bulletins for Cyclones Idai and Kenneth: A critical evaluation of the use of global flood forecasts for international humanitarian preparedness and response
Humanitarian disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan (SE Asia, 2013) and the Horn of Africa drought (2011–2012) are examples of natural hazards that were predicted, but where forecasts were not sufficiently acted upon, leading to considerable loss of life. These events, alongside international adoption of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, have motivated efforts to enable early action from early warnings. Through initiatives such as Forec…
Plastic in global rivers: Are floods making it worse
Riverine plastic pollution is of global concern due to its negative impact on ecosystem health and human livelihood. Recent studies show a strong link between river discharge and plastic transport, but the role of floods is still unresolved. We combined high-resolution mismanaged plastic waste data and river flood extents with increasing return periods to estimate flood-driven plastic mobilisation, from local to global scale. We show that 10 year…
Disruption of emergency response to vulnerable populations during floods
A vision for improving global flood forecasting
Global hydrological forecasts are now produced operationally on a daily basis. However, the lack of global river discharge observations precludes routine flood forecast evaluation, an essential step in providing more skilful and reliable forecasts. A vision is expounded for greater and more timely exchange of global river discharge observations, which would result in improved flood awareness and socioeconomic benefits in some of the World’s most …
Demonstrating the utility of a drought termination framework: Prospects for groundwater level recovery in England and Wales in 2018 or beyond
Land surface models systematically overestimate the intensity
A global network for operational flood risk reduction
Every year riverine flooding affects millions of people in developing countries, due to the large population exposure in the floodplains and the lack of adequate flood protection measures. Preparedness and monitoring are effective ways to reduce flood risk. State-of-the-art technologies relying on satellite remote sensing as well as numerical hydrological and weather predictions can detect and monitor severe flood events at a global scale. This p…
