An examination of the statistics of maximum mean daily floods / R.M. Leith.: En39-10/1972E-PDF
"The purpose of the study was to ascertain to what extent five, ten, fifteen and twenty-five-year averages of the annual mean daily floods approach forty-year averages and to investigate trends in these short-term statistics. For this study, the annual maximum mean daily floods for twenty-six streams in British Columbia are analyzed in five, ten, fifteen, twenty-five and forty-year periods from 1930 to 1969. If a short period can be found in which the averages are statistically similar to the long-term average, then this period may be of value in regionalization studies. If trends are found, thesewill be of value in assessing the records of other streams for which short periods of record are available"--Introd., p. 1.
