英文摘要 | Climate change is linked to changing precipitation, yet uncertainty remains as to whether and how hydroclimatic changes will influence flood frequency, magnitude, and timing. Part of this uncertainty is because few regional-scale studies have analyzed changes in floods produced by different mechanisms. We identify six flood generating mechanisms (FGMs) based on prominent meteorological processes and moisture supply to the soil column in the Western U.S.; these include large-scale frontal storms (atmospheric and non-atmospheric rivers), monsoons, convective storms, snowmelt, and rain-on-snow. We assess trends in the frequency, magnitude, and timing of floods produced by different FGMs across 119 basins during 1960-2018. Overall, we find decreased frequency and magnitude of rain-on-snow-driven floods, increased frequency and magnitude of convective-storm-driven floods, and a temporal shift to earlier in the year for snowmelt-driven floods. The flood characteristics are generally stable for floods produced by other FGMs. |
