Rainfall Intensities in Havana

Journal AWWA, 1948
the design of water works, data on rainfall intensities for periods of time of 30 minutes or less are not as important as in sewage plant construction, but durations of one or more hours come within the time of concentration encountered in practice in small drainage areas.

A Statistical Description of Intense Rainfall

Bell System Technical Journal, 1969
This paper contains a statistical summary of the 14,000,000 measurements taken during 27 rainfalls in a six-month period in 1967 from a 96-station, rapid-response rain guage network spread over a rectangular area 13 by 14 kilometers centered near Crawford Hill, New Jersey.

Electric Rainfall Intensity Sensor

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1978
Abstract An instrument having a logarithmic response is described that continuously measures rates of rainfall over the range 0.3–350 mm h−1 by determining the electrical power required to evaporate the water as it arrives on an exposed sensor. Laboratory calibration experiments illustrate characteristics of the instrument, and field tests show ...

Spatial correlation coefficients of rainfall intensity inferred from statistics of rainfall intensity and rain attenuation

Annales des Télécommunications, 1986
On the basis of the reliable statistics of rainfall rate and rainfall attenuation for 8 localities in Europe, the spatial correlation coefficient of point rainfall intensity was inferred for each locality from the cumulative distributions of attenuation and rainfall intensity by inversely applying the modified Morita and Higuti rainfall attenuation ...

Rainfall intensity prediction by a spatial-temporal ensemble

2008 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence), 2008
Accurate rainfall intensity nowcasting has many applications such as flash flood defense and sewer management. Conventional computational intelligence tools do not take into account temporal information, and the series of rainfall is treated as continuous time series. Unfortunately, rainfall intensity is not a continuous time series as it has different

STATISTICAL MODEL OF THE INTENSITY OF THE RAINFALL IN SHUMEN REGION

Journal scientific and applied research, 2013
The report justifies the view that despite the apparent trend of warming and drought in recent years, there is an increasing frequency of extreme weather and climatic events (rainfall), which cause extensive damage to infrastructure and high costs to the economy and society.

An Analysis of Intense Rainfalls in Cracow Area

2019
The study involves an analysis of intense rainfall events determined based on data from 21 precipitation stations located in the area of Cracow. The data was extracted from rainfall sequences from years 2013–2017 at the Municipal Water and Sewage Company (MPWiK [Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji]) in Cracow.

Simplified Method for Rainfall Intensities

Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division, 1981
Procedures are presented for estimating maximum rainfall amounts for 24 hours with a return period of 10 years from monthly and observation day measurements. Procedures are also presented for converting these values to other rainfall depth- duration amounts.

Kinetic energy and rainfall intensity relationships: A review

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
Although it is widely recognized how the knowledge of the kinetic energy (KE) of precipitation plays a fundamental role in soil erosion studies, its direct evaluation is not widespread. As a matter of facts, direct measurements of the kinetic energy of precipitation require the use of sophisticated and expensive tools.

Estimating rainfall intensity by using vehicles as sensors

2017 Wireless Days, 2017
Vehicles are key elements in the envisioned Smart Cities, not only providing more efficient mobility, but also becoming mobile network elements able to perform many useful tasks. Environment sensing is a good example where the combination of data coming from vehicles allows achieving insight only comparable to the deployment of hundreds or thousands of
