Abstract:Relationships between peak discharges and catchment size (e.g., flood scaling) in a catchment have the potential to support new river flood forecasting approaches but have not been tested in tropical regions. This study determined flood scaling relationships between peak discharge and nested drainage areas in the La Sierra catchment (Mexico). A statistical power law equation was applied to selected rainfall–runoff events that occurred between 2012 and 2015. Variations in flood scaling parameters were determine… Show more
