Alaska Streamflow Statistics:
Peak Streamflow Statistics and Equations

Statistics
Generalized skew and summary statistics for Regions 1-7, Alaska and conterminous basins in Canada (table 2, 15 KB) EXCEL
Station information and peak-streamflow statistics for streamflow-gaging and partial-record stations in Alaska and conterminous basins in Canada (table 4, 299 KB) EXCEL
Tools for Estimating Streamflow
Regression equations for estimating 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-, and 500-year peak streamflows for unregulated streams in Regions 1-7, Alaska and conterminous basins in Canada (table 3, 28 KB) EXCEL
Computer program to compute peak-streamflow frequencies, standard error of prediction, confidence limits, and equivalent years of record for ungaged sites (ZIP file, 138 KB). After downloading, unzip using WINZIP (evaluation version available free at www.winzip.com). Run the program by double-clicking reg.exe. The program expects the file split.cmn to be in the same folder as reg.exe. View the FORTRAN code by opening reg.for. PROGRAM
Data for Figure 2, Relation of discharge to drainage area for selected recurrence intervals for the Yukon River, Alaska and Canada. (15 KB) EXCEL
