Summary of Decadal No-Flow Fractions and Decadal L-Moments of Nonzero Streamflow Flow-Duration Curves for National Hydrography Dataset, Version 2 Catchments in the Southeastern United States, 1950 - 2010, at 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC12) Pour Points

Censored and uncensored generalized additive models (GAMs) are developed from 955 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations (streamgages) to predict decadal statistics of streamflow. The streamgages are located on streams draining to the Gulf of Mexico. Decadal statistics include no-flow fractions and selected L-moments of nonzero streamflow for six decades (1950s—2000s). These statistics represent metrics of decadal flow-duration curves (dFDCs) derived from about 10 million daily mean streamflows. The L-moments include the mean, coefficient of L-variation, and the third through fifth L-moment ratios. The models are fit using watershed properties such as basin area and slope, decadal precipitation and temperature and decadal [...]
