ClimEx Hydro-SMILE Bavaria: peak-over-threshold precipitation and corresponding flood events

This dataset provides extreme precipitation and corresponding high flow events for 78 catchments in Bavaria for the period 1961-2099. Hydrological simulations were obtained by driving the hydrological model WaSiM with the CRCM5-LE, a regional Single climate Model Initial-Condition Large Ensemble (SMILE). The underlying simulations were originally generated by Willkofer et al. 2020 as part of the ClimEx project (www.climex-project.org, Leduc et al. 2019). Using the daily streamflow simulations from the 50 members of the hydro-SMILE, we identifed pairs of extreme precipitation (i.e. areal sum over catchment) and corresponding streamflow. For more details on the hydrological setup see Willkofer et al. 2020 and further information on the simulations and event identification see Brunner et al. 2021.
The hydrological simulations were funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection. Computations of the hydrological simulations for the ClimEx project were made on the SuperMUC supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
