Data and Code on Extreme Inflow and Lowflow Analysis for Alpine Reservoirs

## Summary * Dataset of daily inflow to Luzzone reservoir in Ticino, Switzerland * R scripts used to generate return levels for low reservoir inflow, low precipitation, high inflow, and extreme high precipitation based on various methods from extreme value analysis ## Data The dataset included here is the "natural" reservoir inflow for the Luzzone reservoir. Additional analyses were conducted on daily total precipitation of 6 meteorological stations (abbreviations: TIOLI, TIOLV, COM, VRN, VLS, ZEV). These precipitation data are freely available for teaching and research from the MeteoSwiss IDAweb portal (https://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/services-and-publications/service/weather-and-climate-products/data-portal-for-teaching-and-research.html). ## Codes R scripts used to determine return levels of the data set are included for both extreme high events and low events. The scripts include the following methods for calculating return levels: * GEV (Generalized Extreme Value) * GPD and GPDd (Generalized Pareto Distribution including declustered version) * eGPD (extended Generalized Pareto Distribution) * MEV (Metastatistical Extreme Value)
