Design Rainfall Estimation for Short Storm Durations Using L-Moments and Generalised Least Squares Regression-Application to Australian Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Short duration design rainfall intensity data is a basic input to many water related projects, particularly in urban drainage design. The main problem in deriving short duration design rainfall data is the lack of continuous pluviograph rainfall data. The use of regionalisation techniques is common in design rainfall estimation, which pools data from a large region. This paper presents a regional rainfall estimation method in Australia involving Generalised Least Squares Regression (GLSR) and L moments methods. It has been found that the GLSR and L moments based regional approach is a practical means for estimating short duration design rainfalls and that this provides an efficient statistical framework for assessing uncertainties in design rainfall estimates.

Assessing the relationships between elevation and extreme precipitation with various durations in southern Taiwan using spatial regression models
A spatially autocorrelated effect exists in precipitation of a mountainous basin. This study examines the relationship between maximum annual rainfall and elevation in the Kaoping River Basin of southern Taiwan using spatial regression models (i.e. geographically weighted regression (GWR), simultaneous autoregression (SAR), and conditional autoregression (CAR)). Results show that the GWR, SAR, ...

Regional flood frequency analysis (RFFA) involves transfer of flood characteristics from gauged to ungauged catchments. In Australia, RFFA methods generally focus on the application of empirical methods based on linear forms of model such as the Probabilistic Rational Method, the Index Flood Method and the regression-based techniques. There have been successful applications of non-linear models...

Identifying the rainfall characteristics and understanding the rainfall-related processes is one of the key factors in the scientific management of water resources. Selection of the design storm is the first step in the estimation of the design flood.

متن کاملDerivation of Design Rainfall Temporal Patterns in Australia's Gold Coast Region
Design of water infrastructures requires estimation of design flow which is the runoff that an infrastructure can handle safely. For estimation of this design flow, rainfallrunoff modelling is widely adopted. Temporal pattern (the distribution of rainfall depths over sub-storm durations) is considered to be one of the most critical input variables in the rainfall-runoff modelling. Design tempor...

Background and purpose: By evolving science, knowledge, and technology, we deal with high-dimensional data in which the number of predictors may considerably exceed the sample size. The main problems with high-dimensional data are the estimation of the coefficients and interpretation. For high-dimension problems, classical methods are not reliable because of a large number of predictor variable...
