A dataframe of annual maximum series observations for station 05BB001, BOW RIVER AT BANFF in Alberta, Canada.
Details
Variables:
max: Numeric; the observed annual maximum series, in m\(^3\)/s.year: Integer; the corresponding years.
Additional Information
This is an unregulated station in the RHBN. Whitfield & Pomeroy (2016) found that floods may be caused by rain, snow, or a combination of both. Therefore, practitioners should be careful when interpreting the results of FFA. Minimal human intervention in the basin means there is little justification for change points. EDA finds evidence of a decreasing trend in the mean.
