Model Archive for Regression Equations to Estimate Flood Discharges in Vermont

Description

These data include flood-frequency data for the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (pfqprocessed.zip) and the basin characteristics (siteinfoVT.txt) for 156 streamgages in Vermont and adjacent areas in surrounding states. These data were used as input to the regression model developed for estimating the magnitude of floods at the selected annual exceedance probabilities on ungaged, unregulated, rural streams in Vermont. The model code is provided in R script language (R Core Team, 2024) and utilized the generalized-least-squares regression tools in the WREG package (Farmer, 2021) to develop the regression equations to estimated flood discharge in Vermont. The model output (VT_Regression_Equations.pdf) provides code and the regression equations.
