Flood Inundation Generation Mechanisms and Their Changes in 1953-2004 in Global Major River Basins.

Despite the serious threats posed by floods, the driving mechanisms of floods are still not well understood. Here we apply a physically based inundation model coupled with a river routing model (Model for Scale Adaptive River Transport (MOSART)) within the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) framework to investigate flood inundation dynamics.
