The development of Intensity Duration Frequency curves under climate change considerations using Remote Sensed rainfall data in Uganda
… Uganda. Reliable intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves are essential for climate-resilient design, yet their development is constrained by the lack of long-term subdaily rainfall records. The challenge addressed in this research is the limited availability of subdaily and long-term daily …

FLOOD PROJECTION AND ANALYSIS THROUGH STOCHASTIC DOWNSCALING
… to derive future Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves. The IDF curves were then used in flood simulations. Flood maps were generated and the vulnerability of some areas (flood extent and flood depths) were identified. The results are useful for policy makers to propose flood mitigation …

Joint probability distribution of rainfall intensity and duration
Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves are widely used for peak discharge estimation in designing hydraulic structures. The traditional Gumbel probability method entails selecting annual maximum rainfall depths (intensities) conditioned on a fixed time window width (which in general will not …

THE HYDROLOGIC CONTROL ON SHALLOW LANDSLIDE TRIGGERING: EMPIRICAL AND MONTE CARLO PYSICALLY-BASED APPROACHES
… based on rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves, applied by several different researchers, for two reasons. Firstly because the response of an hillslope to hyetographs of rectangular (or any other predifined) shape may be significantly different from that to a real-like stochastically …

Exploration of natural climate variability and changes in future events using observations, proxy data and model simulations
Human evolution and civilization are deeply interlinked with the environmental and climatic context of the planet in which they developed and continue to unfold. The principal concerns of this dissertation lie in exploring the connection and interplay between changes in Earth's climate—comprising …
