This analysis method calculates the annual recurrence probility and the return period of annual maxima using the Weibull[1] plotting position method.

First, the maximum value in each hydrological year is determined. The probability of recurrence and the return period are then calculated using the following formulas:

[math]\displaystyle{ P = \frac{m}{n+1} }[/math]

and

[math]\displaystyle{ T = \frac{1}{P} }[/math]

where

m: ordered rank of the event (1 = largest event)
n: number of total events/years
P: probability of exceedance [-]
T: return period [years]

The analysis results are a result table with all events and their properties, a result chart plotting the return periods and a result series in the main chart containing only the annual maxima.

Notes

  • If two or more events have the same maximum value, they are assigned the same rank and thus have the same recurrence probability
