The genesis of the formation of maximum water levels of the Lena River near Yakutsk is considered. Recovery techniques of series of hydrological characteristics is briefly stated. Observational data on maximum water levels are reduced to the long-term period, an estimation of their homogeneity and stationarity is carried out. The recomputation of maximum water levels of 1% probability taking account of extreme historical levels is executed. As a result, the mark of calculated 1% maximum water level (97.34 m, Baltic System) is obtained, which is 0.98 m higher than the one given in hydrological handbooks [1,6].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
