Abstract
Whitin the context of flood management, and generally for performing environmental, climate, hydrological, and water resources analysis, it is useful and reliable to provide scenarios by rainfall simulation, in order to overcome data limitations in terms of time and spatial resolution. Generally, it is required that the stochastic model preserves important properties of the rainfall process, such as intermittency, seasonality and scaling behavior in space and time, so that there will be no substantial differences between historical rainfall data and synthetic records. In this work, two rainfall disaggregation models are evaluated in terms of their ability to reproduce rainfall hourly statistics in four sites in Central Italy. The considered models are an entropy based disaggregation model and Hyetos-R (Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulses rainfall). © 2012 American Institute of Physics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
