3. Frequency Distributions of Heavy Rainfall Events
The data used in developing the frequency relations consisted of both daily and hourly precipitation records from Illinois and from nearby stations in surrounding states. The daily data, mostly from nonrecording raingages, spanned the 83-year period from 1901 through 1983. They included data from the 61 precipitation-reporting stations discussed previously (figure 71, whose records had been car...

متن کاملA hybrid approach to improving rainfall forecasts
High-resolution rainfall forecasting— the ability to predict rainfall intensities at enhanced resolution in space and time—is one of the most difficult, but also most useful, problems in applied meteorology and hydrology. Such forecasting could help scientists predict floods and manage water resource operations. Despite its well-known benefits,1 however, scientists have made little progress ove...
متن کاملEvidence for trends in heavy rainfall events over the UK.
Daily precipitation in the UK has changed over the period 1961-2000, becoming on average more intense in winter and less intense in summer. Recent increases in total winter precipitation are shown to be mainly due to an increase in the amount of precipitation on wet days, with a smaller contribution in the western UK from a trend towards more wet days. If the wet-day amounts are modelled using ...
متن کاملVerification of rainfall forecasts for the Vaal Dam catchment for the summer rainfall seasons
Rainfall forecasts compiled by the South African Weather Service (SAWS) are used daily by agriculture, industry, sportsmen and the general public. Because of the importance of the rainfall forecast, it is of considerable interest to know how reliable these forecasts are. The SAWS evaluates the rainfall forecasts issued by the Central Forecasting Office (CFO) on a daily basis. A hit score is det...
