Flood hazard maximum 1-day runoff data for the National Climate Risk Assessment

Flood hazard maximum 1-day runoff regional change summaries for the National Climate Risk Assessment (NCRA). The flood hazard has been summarised for boundaries relating to the assessment of freshwater natural environments.

Australian Climate Service (ACS) flood hazard datasets (https://github.com/AusClimateService/hazard-flood)
1. Max1day_runoff - Median annual maximum 1-day runoff

Each hazard dataset includes an ensemble of climate models for four global warming levels (GWLs), 1.2, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 degrees Celsius, above a pre-industrial mean for 1850 to 1900.

The relative change (difference to GWL1.2 divided by GWL1.2) was calculated for each of the higher GWLs compared to GWL1.2.

Regions of interest boundaries
1. Level 2 drainage basins from the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (AHGF)

For each hazard/GWL-change combination, a set of statistics (the mean, 10th percentile, 50th percentile, 90th percentile and standard deviation) was calculated for each climate model in the ensemble over the regions of interest areas. From these, the median of each statistic from all the models in the ensemble was calculated.

Collection data files
The outputs are tabular data in comma-separated value (csv) files with one file per hazard/GWL-change combination. The columns are ID and region name that link to the boundary datasets for visualising in GIS software, and the medians of the statistics. Rows are the individual region of interest polygons.
