Wind is one of the important natural phenomena in arid and semi-arid ecosystems of the world. Although several studies have been conducted using the wind speed and direction to provide wind rose in each area, only a few of them investigated the possibility of wind speed at different return periods. Analysis of the maximum wind speed at different return periods, in a variety of projects such as ...

Regional Flood Frequency Analysis (RFFA) is an efficient method in flood discharge estimation in ungauged watersheds or with short-term statistics. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the hybrid method in RFFA and maximum flood discharge estimation in the Namak Lake watershed, Iran. For this purpose, 16 hydrometric stations were selected. The selected hydrometric stations were then ...

Regional analysis is the stability method to improve estimates of flood frequency, which has become one of the dynamic sectors in hydrology and the new theories are testing, constantly. Application of geostatistical method is an innovation in this field for regional flood analysis.This technique is based on the interpolation of hydrological variables in the physiographical space instead of usin...
