Abstract
A rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve serves vital purposes in urban water management, typically generated using a long historical rainfall record. In most cases, such measurement is often sparse or poorly done. Hence it becomes a significant challenge to derive this curve. However, many studies have demonstrated the use of satellite rainfall measurement to cope with this data shortage. One of them is TRMM 3B42 Daily, which is employed in this study. This paper presents the application of TRMM to derive a better IDF curve in a data-scarce region for urban water management. It takes place in Bandung, where most of the upstream catchment area has limited rainfall records. The result shows that the TRMM-derived IDF curve demonstrates underestimated rainfall intensity compared to the ground measurement one. Consequently, the correction of daily data TRMM is necessary to improve the performance of TRMM-derived IDF. The correction of daily TRMM has statistically improved the performance of IDF. It is exhibited by the decreasing value of RMSE and RE. This analysis was culminated by producing an updated IDF curve using TRMM data from 1998-2019 for Bandung City. There is no significant trend that appears in rainfall intensity from 2016-2019.
