Understanding temporal rainfall intensity scaling

Scaling behavior of high resolution temporal rainfall: New insights from a wavelet-based cumulant analysis

We revisit the multifractal analysis of high resolution temporal rainfall using the wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method. Specifically, we employ a cumulant analysis of the logarithm of the WTMM coefficients to estimate the scaling exponent spectrum τ (q) and the spectrum of singularities D(h). We document that rainfall intensity fluctuations exhibit multifractality from scales of the...

Spatial–temporal Mesoscale Modeling of Rainfall Intensity Using Gage and Radar Data

Gridded estimated rainfall intensity values at very high spatial and temporal resolution levels are needed as main inputs for weather prediction models to obtain accurate precipitation forecasts, and to verify the performance of precipitation forecast models. These gridded rainfall fields are also the main driver for hydrological models that forecast flash floods, and they are essential for dis...

Mining Rainfall Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Twitter: A Temporal Approach

Social networks are a valuable source of information to support the detection and monitoring of targeted events, such as rainfall episodes. Since the emergence of Web 2.0, several studies have explored the relationship between social network messages and authoritative data in the context of disaster management. However, these studies fail to address the problem of the temporal validity of socia...

Evidence for inherent nonlinearity in temporal rainfall

We examine the underlying structure of high resolution temporal rainfall by comparing the observed series with surrogate series generated by a invertible nonlinear transformation of a linear process. We document that the scaling properties and long range magnitude correlations of high resolution temporal rainfall series are inconsistent with an inherently linear model, but are consistent with t...
