Drought hazard SSI 5-year return period - SSP1 Lower bound
Drought Hazard map based on the SSI-1 indicator (Standardised Streamflow Index cumulated on a 1-month window). The map refers to the return period RT = 5 Years and it is computated on the basis of exceeding the SSI-1 value of one Sigma in each pixel of the analyised domain for a duration of at least 3 consecutive months using SSP1 Lower bound Climate change scenario.

The existing climate refers to the entire historical period of the last 40 years (1979 - 2016) the methodology employed for the computation is exhaustively explained in the Background paper.

There are reference periods for the existing climate and for the future scenarios the average duration is computed over such periods in a statistical sense (for future years from 2060 to 2100 are considered). The definition of the indicator is a series of consecutive days where the used indicator is below -1.

Flood Hazard 10 Years - Existing climate
The hydrological model used is the Continuum model (Silvestro et al. 2013 and 2015). It is a continuous, distributed and physically based hydrological model able to reproduce the spatial-temporal evolution of soil moisture, energy fluxes, surface soil temperature, evapotranspiration and discharge. Climate dataset used for the simulation of basin response are the W5E5 Global Meteorological dataset for present climate, and the ISIMIP3b Global Meteorological reanalysis dataset for the futur climate. In order to generate flood hazard maps, resulting discharge estimates are input to an hydraulic model based on the Manning equation that compute channel uniform flow depth. This simplified approach fits to determine flood maps on large areas. The hydrological model used is the Continuum model (Silvestro et al. 2013 and 2015).
