O'Shea, P.S., 2019, Peak-flow frequency analysis for USGS 05494300 Fox River at Bloomfield, Iowa, in the Fox River Basin Iowa, based on data through water year 2018: U.S. Geological Survey data release, http://doi.org/10.5066/P9E3KQ40.

Summary

This data release presents a peak-flow frequency analysis for USGS 05494300 Fox River at Bloomfield, Iowa, based on methods described by Eash and others (2013) (https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5086/). The methods are used to provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs). The results are presented in two text files (peak flow specification file: 05494300_ffa_2018.psf; WATSTORE file: 05494300_ffa_2018_WATSTORE.txt), and an excel spreadsheet (05494300_ffa_2018.xlsx).

Purpose

This dataset includes peak-flow frequency analyses and results for USGS 05494300 Fox River at Bloomfield, Iowa, based on data through water year 2018. Estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent AEPs are reported. The procedures used for the peak-flow frequency analyses are documented in Eash and others (2013).
