Data for Characterizing Changes in the 1-percent Annual Exceedance Probability Streamflows for Climate Change Scenarios in the Housatonic River Watershed, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York
August 1, 2023
The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency has conducted a study to evaluate potential changes to1-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) streamflows. The study was conducted using the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). Climate inputs to the model of temperature and precipitation were scaled to anticipated changes that could occur in 2030, 2050, and 2100 based on global climate models. The output from the models were used to characterize the 1-percent AEP streamflows for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100 and compare the results to baseline conditions, 1950-2015. The data include the model input and output and spatial data for model referencing. Scripts for processing PRMS output to obtain final results are also provided.

Characterizing changes in the 1-percent annual exceedance probability streamflows for climate-change scenarios in the Housatonic River watershed of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York
Current methods for determining the 1-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) for a streamflow assume stationarity (the assumption that the statistical distribution of data from past observations does not contain trends and will continue unchanged in the future). This assumption allows the 1-percent AEP to be determined based on historical streamflow records. However, the assumption...
