The OASIS Future Danube River Segment Flood Frequencies under Climate Change provide future flood recurrence intervals (years) of a range of historical flood intervals (10, 50, 100, 1000-year floods). They represent indicators of future flood risks in comparison to historical/present day conditions, e.g. the present 100-year flood may become a 50-year (increased risk) or a 200-year flood (decreased risk). The unique features are the adherence to both insurance industry and climate impact science standards: It is simulated by a continuous, distributed hydrological model driven by a state of the art stochastic weather generator over 10000-year synthetic climate periods under IPCC climate change scenarios (RCP-4.5, RCP-8.5 and 4 GCMRCM model combinations). Historical flood intervals relate to the baseline period 1970-1999 and future periods are the medium (2020-2049) and long-term (2070-2099).
