"Maps are presented giving the one-day extreme rainfalls for the Prairie Provinces with return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25 and 100 years calculated by the Gumbel method. In addition, maps are presented gjving the mean and standard deviation of the annual series of maximum one-day rainfalls. These maps are based on all available data prior to 1972 from 1061 stations in the Prairie Provinces equipped with standard, non-recording rain gauges. The general pattern is for the heaviest rainfalls to occur in southwestern Manitoba and along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta while the smallest extreme rainfalls occur in the northern regions"--Abstract.
