Characterization of standardised heavy rainfall profiles for Barcelona city: clustering, rain amounts and intensity peaks
(2020-10-01)
Article
Open AccessStandardized heavy rainfall profiles may contribute to a best knowledge concerning flash floods, ground erosion and runoff. Taking advantage of the rain rate gauges network of Barcelona city and applying a short integration ... -
Effect of temporal aggregation on the estimate of annual maximum rainfall depths for the design of hydraulic infrastructure systems
(Elsevier, 2017-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFor a few decades the local rainfall measurements are generally obtained by tipping bucket sensors, that allow to record each tipping time corresponding to a well-known rain depth. However, a considerable part of rainfall ... -
European dry spell regimes (1951-2000): Clustering process and time trends
(2014-07-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAiming to improve the knowledge of droughts in Europe, three indices related to dry spells, DS, regime have been analysed: the number of DS per year, N; the longest annual DS, L-max; and the mean DS length per year, L, for ... -
Multifractal structure of the monthly rainfall regime in Catalonia (NE Spain): Evaluation of the non-linear structural complexity
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2020-07-08)
Article
Open AccessThe complex non-linear regime of the monthly rainfall in Catalonia (NE Spain) is analyzed by means of the reconstruction fractal theorem and the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis algorithm. Areas with a notable ... -
On the consideration of scaling properties of extreme rainfall in Madrid (Spain) for developing a generalized intensity-duration-frequency equation and assessing probable maximum precipitation estimates
(2016-11-11)
Article
Open AccessThe fractal behavior of extreme rainfall intensities registered between 1940 and 2012 by the Retiro Observatory of Madrid (Spain) has been examined, and a simple scaling regime ranging from 25 min to 3 days of duration has ... -
Rainfall radar observations in the U.S. VORTEX-SE campaign: VAM correction of Doppler spectra to improve data quality
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-13)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessWe present research on two methods to estimate the Vertical Air Motion (VAM) velocity by comparing rainfall observations from two different sensing instruments: an S-band radar and a ground-based disdrometer during the ... -
Return period curves for extreme 5-min rainfall amounts at the Barcelona urban network
(2019-02)
Article
Open AccessHeavy rainfall episodes are relatively common in the conurbation of Barcelona and neighbouring cities (NE Spain), usually due to storms generated by convective phenomena in summer and eastern and south-eastern advections ... -
Spatio‐temporal variability of daily precipitation concentration in Spain based on a high‐resolution gridded data set
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2018-04)
Article
Open AccessAn analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of daily precipitation concentration (CI) in Spain was made based on a high‐resolution (5 × 5 km) daily gridded precipitation data set for the 1950–2012 period. For each ...
