Regional rainfall depth-duration-frequency equations for Canada

A general dimensionless rainfall depth-duration-ferquency relationship

Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) rainfall curves, for data series and climate projection in African cities

Changes in the hydrologic cycle due to increase in greenhouse gases cause variations in intensity, duration, and frequency of precipitation events. Quantifying the potential effects of climate change and adapting to them is one way to reduce urban vulnerability. Since rainfall characteristics are often used to design water structures, reviewing and updating rainfall characteristics (i.e., Inten...

Regional rainfall and flood frequency analysis for Sicily using the two component extreme value distribution

This paper first presents a duration-dependent hypothesis regarding the parameters of the two component extreme value (TCEV) distribution and proposes a simple model to obtain the rainfall depthduration relationship both at ungauged sites and at short record gauged sites in the Sicilian region. Then, by using the annual maximum peak flood and the annual maximum mean daily discharge recorded in ...

Spatial Variability in Rainfall Erosivity versus Rainfall Depth: Implications for Sediment Yield

ity in rainfall erosivity and associated sediment yield. Rainfall erosivity and sediment yield can be measured Rainfall depth within small semiarid watersheds can have high much more cost effectively than runoff, an important spatial variability, but spatial variability in rainfall erosivity, a more direct determinant of sediment yield, has not been quantified. Using consideration when studying...
