Estimation of flood warning runoff thresholds in ungauged basins with asymmetric error functions

In many real-world flood forecasting systems, the runoff thresholds for activating warnings or mitigation measures correspond to the flow peaks with a given return period (often 2 years, which may be associated with the bankfull discharge). At locations where the historical streamflow records are ab...
