Amponsah et al. (2018) Integrated high-resolution dataset of high-intensity European and Mediterranean flash floods
This paper introduces the EuroMedeFF database, an integrated, high-resolution dataset of hydro-meteorological variables for 49 high-intensity flash flood events across Europe and the Mediterranean from 1991 to 2015. The dataset provides crucial benchmark data for understanding flash flood processes and evaluating hydrological models, particularly highlighting the importance of post-flood surveys for small, ungauged basins.
