Abstract

The authors would like to warmly thank the anonymous reviewer for his.her useful comments and suggestions which will help to significantly improve the manuscript. Please find below our answers to the main reviewer comments: *) It is unclear what we really learn. For example, the finding, which report correlations between floods and precipitation characteristics, these findings are only related based on the correlation of some floods of some catchment with some arbitrarily chosen P characteristics. This is potentially interesting, but does not answer any clear question to me, nor does it support the claim that "our results open new perspectives for flood C1 HESSD Interactive comment Printer-friendly version Discussion paper hazard assessments directly based on climate model outputs.". Sure rainfall is important in driving this floods, but this seems trivial, and I would expect some clear insight beyond this trivial statement. The provided topology of floods is an interesting way to summarize the type of flood events, but I do not see how it is really relevant beyond the case provided here. Response: According to your feedbacks as well as those from the 2 other reviewers, we realize that the objectives were probably not stated clearly enough in the first version of the manuscript. Please find below the clarified question and objectives.
