Regional delimitation of the Elbe River basin based on flood seasonality analysis
The study presents approaches that can be used for assessing flood seasonality in the Czech part of the Elbe River basin. For each of the selected gauging stations, a graphic-numerical method based on flood cumulative frequency curves was applied for identification of intervals, during which the probability of seasonal flood occurrence was high. The results were used for classification of the individual catchments into seven regions specific in terms of the flood seasonality.
