AbstractGlobal floods and extreme rainfall events have surged by more than 50% this decade and are now occurring at a rate four times higher than in 1980. However, the capability of physical models in predicting flood events remains limited across spatial scales, especially in intensively managed agricultural systems like the Midwestern U.S. The apparent disparity between observed seasonal patterns of extreme precipitation and high streamflow events presents a challenge when using precipitation alone to
