Extended Data Fig. 8: Estimated return period in 2010 for the 1960 100-year flood discharge.

From: Changing climate both increases and decreases European river floods

Extended Data Fig. 8

Points show local return periods (n = 2,370), with larger points indicating agreement of the 5th and the 95th percentiles of the uncertainty distribution in the sign of change. The background pattern represents regional return periods. Blue indicates lower return periods, representing increasing flood discharges, and red indicates higher return periods, representing decreasing flood discharges. This figure provides a continental overview and does not replace national-scale and local studies, for which more detailed information may be available.
