Summary

These data describe the 10-largest annual, instantaneous flood peaks and corresponding dates of those largest floods for 473 streamgages in the Hydro-Climatic Data Network (HCDN) HCDN-2009 (Lins, 2012) network; they are also the data and results used in the companion manuscript by Collins, M.J, Hodgkins, G.A., Archfield, S.A., and Hirsch, R.M, under review, "The occurrence of large floods in the United States in the modern hydroclimate regime: seasonality, trends, and large-scale climate associations," and submitted to Water Resources Research. The HCDN-2009 (Lins, 2012) network is a subset of streamgages classified as unimpaired to the extent possible that any upstream regulation or urbanization could be evaluated. From this network, [...]
