Probable Maximum and TVA Precipitation over the Tennessee River Basin above Chattanooga
Schwarz FK. 1965. Probable Maximum and TVA Precipitation over the Tennessee River Basin above Chattanooga. Hydrometeorological Report No. 41. Weather Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce. Washington, D.C.
FOREWARD: This report continues a series of estimates of probable maximum precipitation made by the Hydrometeorological Branch, Office of Hydrology of the Weather Bureau. The major previous studies by the Branch have been funded by the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, primarily to meet needs associated with their river basin projects. These reports have been made available to all interested engineers and other citizens through publication. The present report is funded by the Tennessee Valley Authority in support of a new appraisal of the potential for high flows on the Tennessee River near Chattanooga. This report draws on the techniques and experience of the former studies and in turn advances the state of the art, particularly regarding hydrometeorological procedures for larger basins in the south-central and southeastern states.
