The PeakFQ program follows Bulletin 17C national guidelines for flood-frequency analysis (https://doi.org/10.3133/tm4B5). The input and output files to PeakFQ that were used in the Connecticut flood-frequency update are presented. Individual file folders for the 141 streamgages using the streamgage identification number as the folder name contain three files: \".TXT\" file used as input to PeakFQ contains the annual peak flows for the streamgage in standard PeakFQ (WATSTORE) text format available from NWIS web at https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/peak; \".PRT\" text file provides estimates of flood magnitudes and their corresponding variance for a range of annual exceedance probabilities, estimates of the parameters of the log-Pearson Type III frequency distribution, including the logarithmic mean, standard deviation, skew, and mean square error of the skew;  and \".JPG\"  image file shows the fitted frequency curve, systematic peaks, confidence limits, and associated information on low outliers, censored peaks, interval peaks, historic peaks, and thresholds if applicable.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9S4F751", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.6075b95cd34e018b3201c82d.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6075b95cd34e018b3201c82d", "keyword": ["PeakFQ", "USGS:6075b95cd34e018b3201c82d", "biota", "flood frequency", "peak flows"], "modified": "2021-04-28T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-73.7200, 40.9900, -71.7800, 42.0400", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "PeakFQ program input and output files for selected streamgages in Connecticut, based on data through water year 2015"}
