Amengual (2025) Characterization of extreme flash floods in Mediterranean Spain
This study characterizes extreme flash floods in Mediterranean Spain by collating and analyzing a comprehensive database of 99 events (1905-2023) and high-resolution data from 13 major events. It reveals that flash flood patterns mirror extreme precipitation, semi-arid basins experience higher magnitudes but steeper envelope curve decline, and event runoff coefficients are lower than in other European regions due to soil storage capacity.
