Design rainfall modelling in the Thames catchment

Abstract This paper examines methodologies for the simulation of storms for the purpose of design flood generation in the Thames region. Existing methods are reviewed and two new approaches are proposed. One combines point profiles of storms extracted from long rainfall records with depth-duration-frequency statistics. The other uses a stochastic rainfall model based upon the Poisson point proc...
