Research on flood frequency analysis has taken place with varying intensity over the last
couple of decades. The eighties proved to be important years with many significant …

Abstract Changes in the river flood regime may be due to atmospheric processes (eg,
increasing precipitation), catchment processes (eg, soil compaction associated with land …

Nowadays it is well recognized that inference about the form of the upper tail of the
distribution of precipitation amounts has to be based on a joint evaluation of several records …

The L moments are used in the three stages of regional frequency analysis: the delineation
of homogeneous regions, the identification of a regional parent distribution, and the …

A hierarchical approach to regional flood frequency estimation is described, where higher‐
order parameters controlling the skewness of annual maximum floods are determined from …

The growing concentration of population and the related increase in human activities in
coastal areas require numerical simulations to analyze the effects of flooding events that …

The need to fit time series characterized by the presence of a trend or change points has
generated increased interest in the investigation of nonstationary probability distributions in …

Estimating economic losses caused on buildings and other civil engineering works due to
flooding events is often a difficult task. The accuracy of the estimate is affected by the …

This paper first presents a duration-dependent hypothesis regarding the parameters of the
two component extreme value (TCEV) distribution and proposes a simple model to obtain …

Identification of the flood frequency curve in ungauged basins is usually performed by
means of regional models based on the grouping of data recorded at various gauging …
