MPhEVD: Metastatistical Physically-based Extreme Value Distribution

Estimation of Extreme Floods Using a Statistical and Conceptual Model of the Hydrological Response
Pietro Devò, Stefano Basso, Marco Marani

Description

This repository contains the code and structure of the MPhEVD (Metastatistical Physically-based Extreme Value Distribution) framework, developed for estimating extreme discharge events in poorly gauged catchments.

Documentation is incomplete and in progress.

Structure

The framework follows this directory structure:

📂 MPhEVD/
├── 📂 data/          # Output data storage
├── 📂 meta/          # Database of stations and main reference information
├── 📂 modules/       # Python modules specific to the framework
├── 📂 scripts/       # Main analysis scripts
└── 📂 series/        # Raw time series data from various datasets

Dependencies

The framework requires the following Python libraries:

• numpy
• pandas
• scipy
