Frequency, magnitude and seasonality of damage-inducing torrential events in Austria (1962-2017)

DOI

Information on frequency, magnitude and seasonality of damage-inducing torrential flooding events from steep, alpine headwater catchments (torrents) in Austria, for the period from 1962 to 2017. The datasets are based on information from the Austrian torrential event catalogue. The frequency data set is complemented with information on the number of functional torrential structures (technical mitigation measures), the number of exposed buildings as well as a multitude of climate indices related to precipitation, snow melt and the sum of precipitation plus snowmelt. Annual aggregates are derived by using area-weighted means across all catchments.
