Assessing compound flooding potential with multivariate statistical models in a complex estuarine system under data constraints

Abstract Compound flooding may result from the interaction of two or more contributing processes, which may not be extreme themselves, but in combination lead to extreme impacts. Here, we use statistical methods to assess compounding effects from storm surge and multiple riverine discharges in Sabin...
