Variability of Best-Estimate Flood Depth Return Periods in Coastal Louisiana

Variability of Best-Estimate Flood Depth Return Periods in Coastal Louisiana

Estimates of surge-based flood depth exceedance curves are useful to inform flood risk management strategies. Estimated return periods associated with flood depth exceedances naturally vary over time, even under assumptions of stationarity, due to the irreducible randomness associated with storm eve...
