(1) Station and generalized skews must be between -2.00 and +3.00 in this spreadsheet.
(2) Considering the relatively short length of most gage records, less frequent peak estimates need to be used with considerable care.
(3) Computed one of four ways (see "generalized skew coefficient" worksheet): Mean and variance (standard deviation 2)
of station skews coefficients in region; skew isolines drawn on a map or regions; skew prediction equations; read
from Plate 1 of Bulletin 17B (reproduced in this spreadsheet), with MSE Generalized Skew = 0.302.
(4) Results are automatically rounded to three significant figures, the dominant number of significant figures in the K-Value table.
(5) Historic frequency analysis assumes that intervening years reflect systematic record.

(1) Station and generalized skews must be betw

(2) Considering the relatively short length of most gage records, less frequent peak estimates need to be used with considerable care.
(3) Computed one of four ways (see "generalized skew coefficient" worksheet): Mean and variance (standard deviation 2)
of station skews coefficients in region; skew isolines drawn on a map or regions; skew prediction equations; read
from Plate 1 of Bulletin 17B (reproduced in this spreadsheet), with MSE Generalized Skew = 0.302.
(4) Results are automatically rounded to three significant figures, the dominant number of significant figures in the K-Value table.
(5) Historic frequency analysis assumes that intervening years reflect systematic record.

Comments: (I) Generalized skew attained by computing mean and variance of skews of 40 San Juan Mountain gages.
(II) High outliers were not eliminated due to the uncertainty about whether or not these peaks appropriately represent the
the hydrologic regime of this mountain watershed.

The station skew coefficient is sensitive to outliers (extreme events), possibly resulting in a biased frequency analys
The accuracy of skew coefficient can be improved and the risk of bias minimized by weighing the station skew with
The following four methods are recommended by Bullitin 17b for developing generalized skew:
(1) For at least 40 stations with at least 25 years of data, or all stations within a hydrophysiographic provence,
(2) For at least 40 stations with at least 25 years of data, or all stations within a hydrophysiographic provence,
(3) For at least 40 stations with at least 25 years of data, or all stations within a hydrophysiographic provence,
(4) In the absence of a more detailed study, a generalized skew coefficient may be read from Plate 1 of Bullitin
