Estimating Probabilities of Extreme Rainfalls

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1989
For a variety of design purposes there is increasing interest in estimating probabilities of rare floods, with magnitudes up to the probable maximum flood. One estimation approach, which we term “stochastic storm transposition,” is a generalization of the concept of storm transposition, which is the basis for estimating probable maximum precipitation ...

Estimating the Rainfall Patterns in Namibia: Are rainfall patterns a myth or fact?

Namibian Journal for Research, Science and Technology, 2020
Rainfall is generally regarded as the key driver for ecosystem processes, particularly important within the dynamics of semi-arid regions. Since the precipitation impacts the natural environment, human society and the economy, the paper applied rainfall forecasting to avail early warning patterns.

Radar hydrology: rainfall estimation

Advances in Water Resources, 2002
Radar observations of rainfall and their use in hydrologic research provide the focus for the paper. Radar-rainfall products are crucial for input to runoff and flood prediction models, validation of satellite remote sensing algorithms, and for statistical characterization of extreme rainfall frequency.

Estimating infiltration for erratic rainfall

Water Resources Research, 1975
To estimate cheaply the infiltration/runoff of typically unsteady rainfall events for purposes of watershed modeling, a method known as ‘time compression’ has been tested against hysteretic Darcy computations. This method assumes that for a given soil the maximum infiltration rate is simply a function of the cumulative infiltration, regardless of the ...

Error influence of radar rainfall estimate on rainfall-runoff simulation

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2015
Radar systems have been widely employed to measure precipitation and predict flood risks. However, radar as a rainfall measuring device and the produced rainfall estimate contain uncertainties and errors resulting from sources such as mis-calibration, beam blockage, anomalous propagation, and ground clutter.

RAR-estimated rainfall data

2021
The composite precipitation data produced by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) Radar-Automatic weather station Rain-rate (RAR) system using 11 radars. The observational domain covers 1241 km ×1761 km in the Korean Peninsula, centered at 38 °N and 126 °E in the Lambert conformal conic projection with horizontal resolution of 1 km and ...

Estimation of Rainfall Erosion Index

Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division, 1974
The rainfall erosion index in the Universal Soil-Loss Equation has been intensively studied using an analytic approach. Simplified procedures for its computation have been developed and presented. The methodology ties together the eastern and western portions of the United States and is based primarily upon the rainfall distribution curves as published

Estimating the amenity value of rainfall

The Annals of Regional Science, 1996
The amenity value of two measures of rainfall are investigated in this study: long term average annual rainfall and the variation in rainfall within the year. Estimates of the economic value of rainfall and variation in rainfall are found using the hedonic property value technique.
