This dataset provides pluvial flood water depth maps for the cities of Logroño, Spain; Gdynia, Poland; Milan Italy; and Athens Greece as a part of the REACHOUT project. The maps are generated using a Pluvial Flood Tool for different return periods estimated based on observations and EURO-CORDEX future climate change scenarios (Logroño only) under different nature-based green cover scenarios, depending on the city. Technical Info The pluvial flood hazard maps are generated for each event using rainfall intensity as input for the hydrostatic inundation model SaferRAIN (Samela et al., 2020). This is a simplified raster-based model based on a hierarchical filling and spilling algorithm, identifying inundated areas on the basis of high-resolution digital elevation model. It accounts for spatially distributed rainfall input and infiltration, building upon the pixel-based Green-Ampt model (Green and Ampt, 1911). It is suitable for applications over large urban areas. Rainfall input for the pluvial flood model is computed for return periods (RPs) of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-years based on the historical rainfall data. Different datasets have been utilized in various cities to tailor the analysis to their specific needs. More specifically: In the city of Gdynia, historical local station data (Climate data IMGW 1960-2021: https://danepubliczne.imgw.pl/) are used to estimate RPs and assess different precipitation events. For the cities of Milan and Athens, 2.2-km ERA5 downscaled data are employed to assess historical precipitation events under different RPs (Essenfelder et al., 2021). In the city of Logroño, historical local station data (SOS-Logroño precipitation data 1999-2022: https://www.larioja.org/emergencias-112/es/meteorologia/datos-actuales-rioja/detalle-estacion?homepage=9&cod_muni=89) are used to estimate RPs and assess different precipitation events. Additionally, here, future climate change projections have been analyzed. These projections are based on the precipitation Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves computed from the EURO-CORDEX data (Pal J et al., 2024 - 10.5281/zenodo.14035736). Observations are then scaled according to the changes simulated between future and historical scenarios, using the median and 90th percentile values estimated from the EURO-CORDEX ensemble. Different urban green cover maps are used as input for the model to simulate the pluvial flood maps under the current land cover conditions and for different nature-based adaptation scenarios for each city to estimate their benefits. Nature-based adaptation scenarios are the result of codesign processes carried out within REACHOUT, involving local stakeholders, experts and representatives of local administrations. Urban green cover scenarios were identified based on areas that could be converted from built-up areas and concrete surfaces (no water infiltration) to green areas allowing for rainwater infiltration. In addition, during this process, local station precipitation, high-resolution digital elevation model and high-resolution land cover data were collected to configure and run the pluvial flood model. Short description of the datase: This dataset contains urban pluvial flood maps for return periods of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-years for hourly and 15-minute events for different urban green cover scenarios and climate change scenarios depending on the city. Format: The format of this dataset is organized in a ZIP file: PluvialFloodMap_{Cityname}.zip. The zip file is organised into sub-folders, one for each urban green cover scenario, including raster (Tiff) files for the rainfall event associated with each return period.
