Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains batch formatted annual peak streamflow data (PkFlows_AllSites.txt) for the respective periods of record (through the 2020 or 2021 water year) for seven USGS streamgages in the upper Esopus Creek watershed in upstate New York. This data release also contains batch formatted specification (PkFlows_AllSites.psf) and output (PEAKFLOWS_ALLSITES.PRT) files from log-Pearson type III (LPIII) flood-frequency analysis of the annual peak streamflow data from version 7.3 of the USGS PeakFQ software (https://water.usgs.gov/software/PeakFQ/), and a csv file (FloodFrequencyEstimates.csv) with estimates of flood magnitudes for selected annual exceedance probabilities from three different types [...]
