Estimating the exceedance probabilities of extreme floods using stochastic storm transportation and rainfall - runoff modelling
Methods of estimating floods with return periods of up to one hundred years are reasonably well established, and in the main rely on extrapolation of historical flood data at the site of interest. However, extrapolating the tails of fitted probability distributions to higher return periods is very u...
