The paper presents a 3-step framework to evaluate simulations of extremes beyond what has yet been observed. The steps are to evaluate:

  1. Model structure (Step 1)

  2. Statistical features (Step 2)

  3. Physical credibility (Step 3)

This framework has been applied to a large ensemble streamflow simulations for the Amazon River (der Wiel et al., 2019). The code presented here can be split up into (Step 2) the evaluation of the statistics of simulated extremes as compared to observations and (Step 3) the evaluation of the physical credibility.
