Abstract
Abstract Attempts to use the Wakeby distribution (WAD) with the method of L‐moments estimates (L‐ME), on the summer extreme rainfall data (time series of annual maximum of daily and 2‐day precipitation) at 61 gauging stations over South Korea have been made to obtain reliable quantile estimates for several return periods. The 90% confidence intervals for the quantiles determined by WAD have been obtained by the bootstrap resampling technique. The isopluvial maps of estimated design values corresponding to selected return periods have been presented. Copyright © 2001 Royal Meteorological Society
