Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This digital-map data set consists of a grid of generalized skew coefficients of logarithms of annual maximum streamflow for Oklahoma streams less than or equal to 2,510 square miles in drainage area. This grid of skew coefficients is taken from figure 11 of the Tortorelli and Bergman, 1985 report, "Techniques for estimating flood peak discharges for unregulated streams and streams regulated by small floodwater retarding structures in Oklahoma," U.S. [...]

Purpose

This data set was used for estimation of peak-streamflow frequency in Oklahoma by Tortorelli (1997). The skew coefficients from this data set were used to develop the peak-flow regression equations, and should be used to estimate peak flows in Oklahoma using the regression equations in Tortorelli (1997). This data set includes values outside Oklahoma that were used at selected stations for regression analyses by Tortorelli (1997). The regression equations and this data set are intended for use only for sites within Oklahoma.
