Abstract
In 1964, the Government of Canada identified 5 glacier basins in western Canada for intensive study during the 10 years of the International Hydrological Decade. Initial studies of the hydrological data collected at Sentinel Glacier indicated that the length of record was insufficient for frequency analysis. This report presents an analysis and assessment of Sentinel Glacier run-off data collected over 18 years. Although the record is still too short to provide conclusive results, plotting positions, empirical probabilities, return periods and ranked flows were calculated and missing values were estimated using elementary statistical methods. The log Pearson type III test and the Wakeby distribution test were used for descriptions of the annual maxima of daily flows.
