Application of Higher Probability Weighted Moments in Flood Frequency Analysis

Abstract:

This paper aims to study the use of higher probability moments (PWMs) for flood frequency analysis. By estimating the parameters of GEV distribution and matching higher PWMs to annual maximum flow series in northern Shaanxi. The results show that higher PWMs describe the data reasonably better than lower PWMs in flood analysis. This method involves no more complication than lower PWMs that be commonly used, and is suitable for flood frequency analysis.
