The goal of this study is to develop an objective methodology for estimating design floods, i.e. the flood peak discharge with return period T , at ungauged river catchments in Iceland. First, a regional flood frequency analysis is presented for estimating the T -year flood peak discharge with fixed duration D, Q(T,D), for poorly gauged and ungauged catchments. This is done by scaling a regiona...

In this paper, we present a new and robust method, general time-frequency distribution series (TFDS), for time-frequency analysis. We also introduce the concept of local interference and global interference and show that the local interference is important and the global interference is less important in TF analysis. The TFDS is very general. With only one parameter, order of the TFDS, one can ...
