This CD ROM is provided for civil engineers or other professionals
for use in the design of major hydraulic structures in the context of
their ability to withstand large to extreme floods.
|
| |
| The Hydrometeorology Section of the Bureau of
Meteorology has developed design temporal distributions for use with large
and extreme design rainfall bursts over southeast Australia. They were developed
as part of the Generalized Southeast Australia Method (GSAM) of estimating
Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP), and have been provided, in part, with
PMP estimates since 1991. |
|
| |
| Access to the full set
has been at the request of the Institution of Engineers, Australia and of
other representatives of the Australian Water Industry. Australian Rainfall
and Runoff, Book VI - Estimation of Large to Extreme Floods (Institution
of Engineers, Australia, 1999), recommends the use of these design temporal
distributions in the estimation of large to extreme floods on catchments
in the southeast of Australia. |
| |
| The CD ROM contains temporal distributions at
3-hourly resolution for rainfall bursts for areas of 100; 500; 1,000; 2,500;
5,000; 10,000; 20,000; 40,000 and 60,000 sq. km and for durations of 24,
36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours. The CD ROM contains a pdf version of the report
as well as separate data files of the temporal distributions. |
