Interstation correlation of peak-flow estimates
Equations are given for using the correlation coefficient between annual peaks at a pair of stream gaging stations to estimate the interstation correlation coefficient of estimated T-year peaks, computed standard deviations, and computed skew coefficients at the same pair of stations. The equations are based on statistics computed from samples of annual peaks simulated from normal distributions with built-in interstation correlation. The interstation correlation of 50- year peaks was found to be about equal to the square of the interstation correlation coefficient of the annual peaks.
