A rainfall-runoff routing model was run for the 10% AEP design rainfalls

A rainfall-runoff routing model was run for the 10% AEP design rainfalls with durations 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 4.5 hrs, 6 hrs, 9 hrs, 12 hrs, 18 hrs and 24 hrs, for a catchment located on the East Coast (North). Ten rainfall temporal patterns were considered in the model runs, as recommended by the AR&R2019. The ensemble results are shown below. Which peak flow should be taken as the 10% AEP flow?
