Multifractals and extreme rainfall events
1993
Based on a multifractal structure hypothesis for temporal rainfall processes, a general formula relating maximum possible point rainfall accumulations is derived as a function of the duration and sample size. This formula appears to be in agreement with empirical observations. Such a result may reconcile some opposite points of view regarding extreme rainfall events, and suggests new ways of exploiting the scaling properties of rain processes.
