| description abstract | Literature on the probability distribution function (PDF) of annual maximum flood discharges is extensive, yet the literature on the PDF of the flood of record (FOR) is sparse. This is partially due to two facts: (1) the PDF for record events is more complex than the PDF for annual maxima; and (2) data sets for observed FORs are much smaller than for the annual maximum flood series from which they derive. We show that, if annual floods arise from a generalized extreme values (GEV) distribution, then the FOR also arises from another GEV distribution, which we term | |
