A kutatási téma leírása:
A period-of-record flow duration curve (FDC) represents the relationship between the magnitude and frequency of daily streamflows. Prediction of FDCs is of great importance for locations characterized by sparse or missing streamflow observations. In the research a detailed comparison of two methods which are capable of predicting an FDC at ungauged basins are evaluated: (1) an adaptation of the geostatistical method, Top-kriging, employing a linear weighted average of dimensionless empirical FDCs, standardised with a reference streamflow value; and (2) regional multiple linear regression of streamflow quantiles, perhaps the most common method for the prediction of FDCs at ungauged sites. Comparisons of these two methods will be made in 76 watersheds in northwestern Hungary.
