Temporal and spatial variability of extreme river flow quantiles in the Upper Vistula River basin, Poland
Abstract Temporal and spatial variability in extreme quantile anomalies of seasonal and annual maximum river flows was studied for 41 gauging stations at rivers in the Upper Vistula River basin, Poland. Using the quantile perturbation method, the temporal variability in anomalies was analysed. Inter...
