Paired rainfall and high-flow event timeseries, statistics, and extraction method for 1203 stations and catchments in Great Britain recorded during 1990-2016 [U
The UKCEH Flood Event Data Suite consists of: - a procedure to identify and extract paired rainfall-high-flow events from paired time-series, - the dataset of 174,450 events identified when applied to open-access UK precipitation and flow data for 1203 river gauging stations and their upstream catchments, - a database of 63 rainfall statistics and runoff signatures derived from those events.

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Calibrating or validating rainfall-runoff responses against observed paired rainfall-flow events on GB catchments · Deriving rainfall statistics and runoff signatures as benchmarks for flood risk assessments · Supplying event-based evidence for drainage or flood study catchment comparisons
