| Summary: | A
study has been embarked with the aim to identify
the best formulation
capable of
obtaining statistics of
precipitation intensity at 1
-
minute integration time from longer
integration times. Few years back, t
he ITU
-
R has
proposed a
conversio
n
method claimed
to
be capable of
generating
precipitation intensity at 1
-
minute integration time
.
Measurement data of precipitation intensities collect
ed in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia
between 1996 and 1998
has
enabled the
compilation of statistics at several
integration times of interest.
The generated 1
-
minute statistics using ITU
-
R method were then
compared with those of measured in order to assess the method’s
dependability. This paper highlights the findings drawn from the
evaluation process. It can be sug
gested that the ITU
-
R’s
conversion method appears to be capable of producing consistent
statistics for 1
-
minute integration time from various other
integration times. In addition,
the paper also proposes
new values
for constants in the conversion formula t
hat
has
been derived
based on measured data |
