Mixed Rectangular Pulses Models of Rainfall
نویسنده
چکیده
In a recent paper ((3)) a fitting procedure for the Neyman-Scott rectangular pulses (NSRP) spatial-temporal model of rainfall was developed. In that paper, the NSRP third moment function was fitted to the equivalent sample value taken at one-hour time intervals. In this paper, the fitting and modelling procedure are extended to ensure a close fit is obtained to further sample properties over a range of time scales. The stochastic model is a ‘mixed’ model obtained as the superposition of two independent NSRP processes. The model is fitted to hourly data from Auckland, New Zealand, where a good fit to sample properties is obtained. It is found that a special case arises (the superposition of an NSRP process and a Poisson rectangular pulses process) for data over the summer period. A simulation study of extremes over a range of time scales supports the use of the model in hydrological applications.

While the effect of changes of stimulus waveform (quasitrapezoidal and rectangular current pulses) on nerve activation is clear, but there is no evidence on the effect of quasitrapezoidal pulses on ionic currents of cellular membrane. In the present study, the effect of depolarizing quasi-trapezoidal current pulses, in comparison with that of depolarizing rectangular current pulses, on firing...

متن کاملStochastic rainfall analysis for storm tank performance evaluation
Stormwater detention tanks are widely used for mitigating impacts of combined sewer overflows (CSO) from urban catchments into receiving water bodies. The optimal size of detention tanks depends on climate and sewer system behaviours and can be estimated by using derived distribution approaches. They are based on using a stochastic model to fit the statistical pattern of observed rainfall recor...

In this paper, we propose a new numerical method for solution of Urysohn two dimensional mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations of the second kind on a non-rectangular domain. The method approximates the solution by the discrete collocation method based on inverse multiquadric radial basis functions (RBFs) constructed on a set of disordered data. The method is a meshless method, because it ...
