The construction of transition probability matrices by the streamflow synthesis technique developed by the Hydrologie Engineering Center of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was tried. In certain cases it was found to be necessary to use a transform different from the Wilson‐Hilferty transform used in the stated routine in order to produce reasonable results. Other details of the numerical considerations necessary for the definition of discrete conditional probability matrices between monthly flow volumes are described.
