New CRC Technical Report - Climate Variability Program
September 02, 2004
CRC Technical Report 04/9 'Stochastic Generation of Point Rainfall Data at Subdaily Timescales: A Comparison of DRIP and NSRP' by Andrew Frost, Ratnasingham Srikanthan and Paul Cowpertwait has now been published.
Preface
One of the goals of the Climate Variability Program in the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology is to develop and test computer programs for generating stochastic climate data at timescales from less than one hour to one year and for point sites to large catchments. The appropriate models will be part of SCL (Stochastic Climate Library a suite of stochastic climate data generation models), a product in the CRCs Modelling Toolkit (see www.toolkit.net.au/scl).
This report describes the evaluation of two point subdaily stochastic rainfall models - the Newman-Scott Rectangular Pulse (NSRP) and the Disaggregated Rectangular Intensity Pulse (DRIP). The models are evaluated using relatively long pluviograph data from ten major Australian cities and regional centres.
