Reply to ‘Increases in temperature do not translate to increased flooding’
Abstract
Replying to Wasko et al. Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13613-4 (2019). We are thankful for the interest of Wasko et al.1 in our work2. The correspondence from Wasko et al. argued that our finding on the positive scaling rate between storm runoff extremes and temperature can be mainly attributed to snowmelt processes, and claimed that storm runoff extremes should have a negative scaling rate globally. However, we do not agree with their arguments for several reasons.
