Evaluation of recommended revisions to Bulletin 17B

Abstract

∗The work in this report was conceived by the Hydrologic Frequency Analysis Work Group (HFAWG) under the Subcommitee on Hydrology (SOH), Advisory Committee on Water Data (ACWI). The HFAWG is currently chaired by Wilbert Thomas. A data subgroup and a testing subgroup were formed under HFAWG to examine potential changes to Bulletin 17B. The data subgroup consisted of Wilbert Thomas, Martin Becker, Don Woodward, Beth Faber, and Jerry Coffey. The HFAWG data subgroup provided a set of peak-flow data sets and suggested tests to perform in comparing Bulletin 17B and EMA.
