lp3events: Find 2- and 10-year return levels

In discharge: Fourier Analysis of Discharge Data

Description

Uses the method of moments to find the 2- and 10-year droughts and floods under the Log-III Pearson distribution.

Usage

lp3Events(x)

Arguments

x	Object of class "streamflow".

Details

Return levels are calculated using the method of moments through the package "lmom". High return levels (floods) are calculated using annual maxima of the raw (log normalized) data, while the low return levels (droughts) are calculated using annual mimima of the 7-day moving averages.

Value

A list with items

Q2	2-year high return level.
Q10	10-year high return level.
L2	2-year low return level.
L10	10-year low return level.

Examples

data(sycamore)
syc.sf<-asStreamflow(sycamore)
lp3Events(syc.sf)
