abstract = "{The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites and its
successor mission, the GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) satellites
provide a unique capability to monitor terrestrial water storage
anomalies (TWSA) and key hydrological variables associated with
flood events. However, GRACE data is only available from 2002
onwards, which poses challenges for long-term studies of
terrestrial water storage and flooding. Additionally, the
monthly temporal resolution of GRACE (-FO) data limits its
utility for detailed flood studies on finer time scales. Against
these issues, this study employed a statistical model to
reconstruct daily TWSA on a grid scale in China from 1963 to
2022. Considering that flood events have three-dimensional
spatiotemporal characteristics, this study identified 359 flood
events that occurred in China between 1963 and 2022 using a
three-dimensional Image-CONnectivity based FLOOD identification
(ICON-FLOOD) approach, combined with Normalized Daily Flood
Potential Index (NDFPI) calculated from reconstructed daily TWSA
and surface runoff. The spatiotemporal variations
characteristics of flood events in China over the past 60 years
were also analyzed. The results show that 60 flood events that
were not recorded in these three disaster databases but actually
occurred were detected. The average duration, intensity, and
affected area have experienced an ``increase-decrease-increase-
decrease-increase'' process. Notably, in the past 20 years, the
duration, intensity, and affected area of flood events are
increasing. The methods and findings of this study may provide
valuable references for flood risk management and mechanism
analysis.}",
