Fig. 6: Summary of changes in future flood risks under the 3 °C warming level compared to the baseline period (1971–2000) for different European macro-regions.
From: Diverging trends in large floods across Europe in a warming climate
Rain_Vol and Snow_Vol denotes the contributions from rainfall and snowmelt to floods, respectively. In the Extent, Volume, Rain_Vol, and Snow_Vol columns, values outside parentheses indicate relative changes in median statistics, while values inside parentheses represent mean statistics. Asterisks (*) denote statistically significant changes based on a median test (for medians, two-sided) or Student’s t-test (for means, two-sided) at the 0.05 significance level, with over 50% model agreement. Entries with either a significant median or mean change with a consistent sign are highlighted in color. To ensure consistency within the table, the top 100 flood events are all ranked by flood volume. Additionally, the relative change in median Rain_Vol and Snow_Vol for all/top 100 events is calculated by pooling the corresponding data samples, rather than using values from the median flood alone (as shown in Fig. 5a–c, g–i).
