Abstract: Identification of outliers in flood records can be an important step in a robust flood frequency analysis procedure. Bulletin 17B includes the Grubbs-Beck test (with α=10%) as an objective criterion of whether the smallest ...

Abstract: Since the adoption of the log-Pearson Type 3 (LP3) distribution by U.S. federal agencies, it has been widely used in hydrology, but its properties are not well understood. This paper explores the characteristics of the LP3 ...

Abstract: A number of parameter estimation methods for the log-Pearson type 3 distribution have been explored in the hydrologic literature, including the method of moments (MOM) in both log space and real space, maximum likelihood ...

Abstract: The accuracy of flood quantile estimates is constrained by the data available at a site. To improve the accuracy of quantile estimators,

Abstract: Identification of

Abstract: Synthetic hydrologic forecasts are often needed to evaluate water resources planning and management strategies when appropriate historical forecasts are not available. Synthetic forecasts can be generated to evaluate system ...
