Regional Flood Frequency Analysis Using Computer Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Different probability distribution methods were employed to determine the flood frequency analysis using computer simulations. Many probability distributions including Gumbel, lognormal, log-Pearson type iii, General Extreme value have been tried to fit ...

Flood frequency analysis

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
Accurate estimation of the magnitude of large floods and their frequency is of continuing concern to hydrologists, and thus a special session on this topic was held at the 1985 AGU Spring Meeting in Baltimore, Md. At the session, papers by W. Kirby and by K. Potter and J.

Lake Sediments Reveal Large Variations in Flood Frequency Over the Last 6,500 Years in South-Western Norway

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Lake sediments can retain imprints of past floods, enabling reconstructions that span well-beyond instrumental time series. Time series covering thousands of years can document the natural range of flood variability, which is critical for understanding ...

Evidence for an Extreme Cooling Event Prior to the Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion in Eifel Maar Sediments

open access: yesQuaternary, 2023
We present a timeseries of flood and slumping phases in central Europe for the past 65,000 years from event layers in sediment cores from infilled Eifel maar basins (Germany).

An Assessment of Uncertainties in Flood Frequency Estimation Using Bootstrapping and Monte Carlo Simulation

open access: yesHydrology, 2023
Reducing uncertainty in design flood estimates is an essential part of flood risk planning and management. This study presents results from flood frequency estimates and associated uncertainties for five commonly used probability distribution functions ...

Climate Change Impact on Flood Frequency and Source Area in Northern Iran under CMIP5 Scenarios

open access: yesWater, 2019
This study assessed the impact of climate change on flood frequency and flood source area at basin scale considering Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 General Circulation Models (CMIP5 GCMs) under two Representative Concentration Pathways ...

Uncertainty introduced by flood frequency analysis in projections for changes in flood magnitudes under a future climate in Norway

open access: yes, 2020
Study region The study considers 115 unregulated catchments in Norway, with areas from 6 to 15,449 km2 and flood generation regimes ranging from snowmelt-dominated to ‘mixed’ (snowmelt and rainfall) to fully rainfall-driven.

Pooled Flood Frequency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Hydrologically similar sites are pooled together to provide much longer records than those at the investigation site. Some key catchment attributes (descriptors) are used in establishing a pooling group through initial selection, discordancy check and heterogeneity test.

Evaluation and projection of the annual maximum streamflow in response to anthropogenic and climatic effects under nonstationary conditions in the Hanjiang River Basin, China

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2022
The flood regimes have been changing due to the climate change and human activities. Evaluating the flood risk under nonstationarity is critical to water resource management authorities in disaster reduction. In this study, the annual maximum streamflow (
