Flood frequency analysis supported by the largest historical flood [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The use of non-systematic flood data for statistical purposes depends on the reliability of the assessment of both flood magnitudes and their return period. The earliest known extreme flood year is usually the beginning of the historical record.

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021 Flood frequency is commonly defined by natural flood characteristics such as flood peak, volume and duration. However, for floods at reservoir site, reservoir operation will significantly alter the natural flood process and flood frequency.

A conceptual investigation of process controls upon flood frequency: role of thresholds [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2007 Traditional statistical approaches to flood frequency inherently assume homogeneity and stationarity in the flood generation process. This study illustrates the impact of heterogeneity associated with threshold non-linearities in the storage-discharge ...

Hydrology Research, 2021 Flood events are difficult to characterize if available observation records are shorter than the recurrence intervals, and the non-stationarity of the climate adds additional uncertainty.

Climate, orography and scale controls on flood frequency in Triveneto (Italy) [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2016 The growing concern about the possible effects of climate change on flood frequency regime is leading Authorities to review previously proposed reference procedures for design-flood estimation, such as national flood frequency models.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Generalizable relationships for how subdaily rainfall statistics imprint into runoff statistics are lacking. We use the Colorado Front Range, known for destructive rainfall‐triggered floods and landslides, to assess whether orographic patterns in runoff ...

An insight into flood frequency for design floods [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008 The maximum annual flood (MAF) series of peak flows have been commonly used in the literature to estimate the parameters of a statistical model in order to estimate design floods for the proper protection and management of flows during extreme events. The use of maximum annual flows restricts the size of the available sample to the number of available ...
