The relationship between Lamb weather types and long-term changes in flood frequency, River Eden, UK by Ian Pattison, Stuart N. Lane

“…Thus, the analysis suggests that systematic organisation of the North Atlantic climate system may be manifest as periods of elevated and reduced flood risk, an observation that has major implications for analyses that assume that climatic drivers of flood risk can be either statistically stationary or are following a simple trend.…”
