Description: The hybrid causative events (hybrid-CE) method was developed to efficiently estimate the annual flood distribution. Compared with the design storm approach and traditional joint probability approaches, it is based on a sounder concept by explicitly using the causative events of flows and thus reduces estimation biases of annual floods which are induced by inappropriate assumptions and the usage of ad-hoc input information. Previous study showed that the hybrid-CE method produces similar prediction accuracies as the continuous simulation approach and enhances the computational efficiency greatly. To further adapt the method for practical applications, this work aims to improve the method by incorporating seasonal effect. A case study on the Scott Creek catchment is conducted to test the performance of the improved method.
