Complexity to Forecast Flood: Problem Definition and Spatiotemporal Attention LSTM Solution

Table 1

Descriptive statistics of daily flow and relevant data for Changhua and Lech dataset, where evaluation SD refers to standard deviation and p and R represent flow rate values and rainfall values, respectively. It is noted that subscripts c and l refer to gauging stations in Chuanghua and Lech River, respectively; subscript refers to mean evaluation on basin areas of Lech river; subscripts DSW, THC, and other abbreviations represent names of rainfall stations for Changhua dataset. Note that unit for p is defined as m3/s and units for R is settled as mm/h.
