Analysis on Rainfall Distribution in a Large Experimental Rainfall Simulator with Fixed Nozzle Arrangement

Use of Probability Distribution in Rainfall Analysis

The daily rainfall data of 37 years were collected from the IMD approved Meteorological Observatory situated at GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India. The data were then processed to identify the maximum rainfall received on any one day (24hrs duration), in any week (7 days), in a month (4 weeks), in a monsoon season (4 months) and in a year (365 days period). The d...

Research on the Fine-Scale Spatial Uniformity of Natural Rainfall and Rainfall from a Rainfall Simulator with a Rotary Platform (RSRP)

The accurate production of a rainfall environment similar to natural rainfall by a rainfall simulator (RS) is a crucial and challenging task in rainfall instrument testing or calibration. Although the spatial uniformity of rainfall accumulation is a key parameter of an RS, the spatial uniformity comparison between simulated rainfall and natural rainfall, and the spatial uniformity improvements ...

Analysis of extreme daily rainfall in southeast Asia with a gridded daily rainfall data set

The objective of this study is to estimate the daily extreme precipitation distribution in an Asian monsoon region considering orographic precipitation in mountainous areas. For this purpose, the APHRODITE data set and precipitation observations from 150 raingauges throughout Thailand were used as the main input. First, a bias-correction for underestimated precipitation in the APHRODITE data se...
