Cévennes mountains and its piedmont are Mediterranean environments extending from 1700 meters summits to coastline. The climate is characterised by summer droughts that last several months and extreme rainfall events occurring in autumn and spring. Current climate predictions point to an intensification of these extremes events. To assess the...

Les observatoires de l'Infrastructure de Recherche OZCAR (Observatoires de la Zone Critique Applications et Recherche, https://www.ozcar-ri.org/) ont été initialement mis en place pour répondre à une question scientifique qui était d'intérêt pour la société. Pour répondre à ces enjeux, un ensemble de variables documentant les conditions...

This paper describes an integrated, high-resolution dataset of hydro-meteorological variables (rainfall and discharge) concerning a number of high-intensity flash floods that occurred in Europe and in the Mediter-ranean region from 1991 to 2015. This type of dataset is rare in the scientific literature because flash floods are typically poorly...

The objectives of the FloodScale project were to progress in the knowledge, understanding and simulation of hydrological processes leading to flash floods in the Mediterranean area. These flash floods and the rainfall events that trigger them lead, each year, to fatalities and a large amount of damage in this region, but processes leading to...

Le projet FloodScale est une contribution au programme international HyMeX (Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment). Il a pour objectif d'améliorer la compréhension et la simulation des processus hydrologiques conduisant à des crues éclair, qui sont l'un des risques naturels les plus destructeurs, notamment en région...

A comprehensive hydrometeorological dataset is presented spanning the period 1 January 2011-31 December 2014 to improve the understanding of the hydrological processes leading to flash floods and the relation between rainfall, runoff, erosion and sediment transport in a mesoscale catchment (Auzon, 116 km 2) of the Mediterranean region. Badlands...
