Probable maximum flood in a changing climate: An overview for Canadian basins

Comparison of physical and statistical methods for estimating probable maximum precipitation in southwestern basins of Iran

The probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is the greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration that is physically possible over a given size storm area at a particular geographical location at a certain time of the year. In this study a physically based method was compared with a statistical procedure to calculate PMP in the southwest arid regions of Iran. In order to estimate PMP using a...

Final Report- Assessing Flood Risk in a Changing Climate in the Mohawk and Hudson River Basins

The first four sections reflect basic research that has gone into better understanding processes that dictate discharge and stage on the Hudson , Mohawk, and tributaries. Work from Sections 3 and 4 (precipitation intensity and ice jams) is ongoing. We plan to have publications on these two topics complete by the end of the spring. Work on Sections 1 and 2 is complete and provides some helpful c...

Study on the effect of climate change on maximum precipitations and probable maximum flood in the Karoon River zone of Iran

Climate change is one of the challenges which affect different areas of the human’s life on the earth, one of which is its effect on extreme events such as flood and drought. Today, one of the most important topics being discussed is that how the intensity of heavy precipitations and flood will change in future compared to that of the present values. In the present study, we try to investigate ...
