Time characteristics of small watersheds in response to the probable maximum precipitation
… was used to perform single event simulations of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) level rainfall events on the Loss Lake watershed in southcentral Missouri. Overland flow was simulated using kinematic wave routing and channel flow was simulated using dynamic wave routing.</p> <p>Lag time was …

Hydrologic Modeling of a Probable Maximum Precipitation Event Using HEC-HMS and GIS Models - A Case Study of Two Watersheds in Southern Virginia-
… simulate the rainfall-runoff response from the Probable Maximum Storm (PMS), the theoretical worst-case meteorological event that is capable of occurring over a particular region. The primary goal of these simulations was to obtain discharge hydrographs associated with the Probable Maximum Flood …

Probable maximum flooding using quantitative weather radar
… lives in a community), designs are based on the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) arising from the critical duration Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). This may occur in the winter, coupled with snowmelt, or in the summer when more heat for convection is available. This thesis details an analysis …

Joint probability distribution of rainfall intensity and duration
… probability method entails selecting annual maximum rainfall depths (intensities) conditioned on a fixed time window width (which in general will not coincide with the rainfall event duration) from a continuous record to perform a frequency analysis in terms of the marginal distribution. The …

Economic impacts and analysis methods of extreme precipitation estimates for eastern Colorado
… must withstand, in their lifetimes, any extreme precipitation event in their drainage basin. Correct estimation of this event is critical because on one hand it must provide an adequate level of safety to not occur, but it must not be any greater than needed since the high costs of dam …

Assessment of the PMPs and Design Storms Estimated from the IMERG Satellite Precipitation Data
… Multi-satellite Retrievals for Global (IMERG) precipitation dataset to estimate probable maximum precipitation (PMP) at pixel and watershed levels, and to model design storms. The IMERG data provides an opportunity to extend PMPs and design storms in data-scarce locations. This dissertation …
