Annual Exceedance Probability Analysis
Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) is the method used by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to determine the probability of flooding caused by the failure of a levee or other flood control structure. This method shows the probability of flooding only at one particular location at a time. In …

Floodplain Risk Analysis Using Flood Probability and Annual Exceedance Probability Maps
… approach creates a spatial map that shows the probability of flooding at each point in the floodplain. This flood probability map is a useful tool for visualizing the uncertainty of a floodplain boundary. However, engineers are still required to determine a single line showing the boundary of a …

Exploring Long-Term Flood Variability in the Lower French Broad River Using Fluvial Paleoflood Hydrology
… Extreme floods, defined here as floods with an annual exceedance probability ≤ 0.001, are underrepresented in streamflow records. This research aims to reconstruct past flood events from flood deposits and examine flood variability over longer timescales. In doing so, the research provides …
