Abstract
The time of occurrence T(t) of the largest momentary flood exceedance in some time interval (0, t] is a stochastic process. The one‐dimensional distribution function and the mathematical expectation of T(t) are determined for the case in which individual flood exceedances are independent, identically distributed random variables and the counting process for exceedances is a nonhomogeneous Poissonian process. Rather good agreement between observed and theoretical distributions for two rivers indicates that these assumptions are not extremely restrictive.
