The temporal concentration of precipitation may be characterized using several methods.
For climate‐scale precipitation, concentration measures are usually performed by means of …

Conventionally, drought analysis has been limited to single drought category. Utilization of
models incorporating multiple drought categories, can relax this limitation. A copula-based …

The n-index is defined as the exponent of the power law relating the maximum average
intensity over given periods of time (eg minutes, hours or days) and these periods of …

Recent studies evidenced that extreme daily rainfall often increases in spite of a decrease of
the total rainfall. For this reason, the analysis of daily precipitation concentration is an …

Increasing the concentration of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere makes
a large-scale change in atmospheric processes. Among the most dramatic effects of climate …

The analysis of maximum precipitation is usually carried out by using IDF curves (Intensity-
Duration-Frequency), which in turn could be expressed as MAI curves (Maximum Average …

In order to investigate the effect of detention reservoirs on flood, the precipitation-runoff
process as well as the reservoir routing was simulated with the HEC-HMS software. The …

The European part of Turkey, the Thrace region, is of agricultural and industrial importance
for the country and hence irrigational and industrial water demand drastically increases …

Since rainfall is an integral component in the hydrologic cycle, engineers must be able to
quantify rainfall in order to design structures dealing with the collection, conveyance, and …

This paper aims to present the genetic algorithm methodology for IDF (GAM-IDF),
addressing its motivation, conception, implementation and functionalities. GAM-IDF was …
