Intensity-Duration-Freqency Curves for the State of Florida

摘要

In the work, the development of the IDF curves was achieved by using statisticalanalysis of historical rainfall data from sites within the adjacent to the boundaries of the State. A total of 107 sites were used, each site containing between 11 and 48 years of data in either 15 minute or hourly increments. These data were simplified into a format suitable for statistical analysis. The product of these statistical analyses are the IDF curves for different regions of the State. To perform these analyses, a number of computer programs were developed. An important result was that the IDF curves exhibited significant variability from one rainfall station to another.
