Abstract

Temporal characteristics of rainfall are classified by means of crossing properties of the storm profile. A method based on the number of crossings is proposed for the identification of storm patterns for use in simulation models. This enables local synoptic features and seasonal variations to be represented. Storm duration and depth are shown to be correlated with the type of classification. The classification is also an aid in identifying spatial characteristics such as storm movement. A case study was made using autographic rainfall data from a region of 1800 km 2 around the city of Birmingham.
