Discharge data for flood events at 516 river gauges across Germany (1954–2021), generated using the perfect storm method

Description: This dataset comprises discharge values for all flood events at 516 river gauges across Germany, generated using our perfect storm method. The discharge data were simulated with the mesoscale hydrological model (mHM). In total, the dataset includes 120 scenarios: 110 recombined events and 10 original flood events.
