Flood Frequency Analyses

This section of the MARFC website is devoted to flood frequency analysis information for the MARFC forecasting area. It contains information on how many times floods have happened in a specific month, percentages of flood occurrence for each month, probability, and average height above flood stage.

The main function of this project is to give the user historical flood statistics for all of The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center (MARFC) forecast points. MARFC has received numerous requests from our customers in regards to historical flood information. This project answers these requests for the much needed information.

Flood information is available in an Access database. Please email us if you are interested in receiving a copy.

What's New - 4/6/2012

We are changing the main menu and design to eventually make it easier to navigate. Some of the links will be unavailable for awhile until we complete the project.

Data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey

Additional support for this project was provided by the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, National Weather Service and Penn State University (PSU) Department of Meteorology. Special thanks to Michael Kozar (PSU student) for writing numerous weather summaries in the Floods by Events section.

Questions should be directed to Charles Chillag or Alaina MacFarlane.
