Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of temporal resolution of rainfall on flood runoff analysis. When the temporal resolution of rainfall is lower than the time scale of the catchment, the calibrated model parameters may include the uncertainty caused by the poor temporal resolution. The calibrated parameters may different with the “true value”. Rainfall data with different temporal resolution are generated by a random cascade generator. Then, these data are used to investigate the effects of temporal resolution on the model parameters calibration. It is shown that the temporal resolution of the hydrological data has significant effects on flood runoff analysis. Furthermore, a method to eliminate the effects of temporal resolution of hydrological data is proposed. By using this method, their “true values”of the parameters invariant with temporal resolution can be estimated.
