A high resolution point rainfall model calibrated to short pluviograph or daily rainfall data.

Title page, abstract and table of contents only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University of Adelaide Library. / This thesis describes the development of a new technique which significantly extends the applicability of stochastic point rainfall models that require historical data for calibration. The technique is demonstrated using a high-resolution point rainfall model based on wet-dry alternating storm events. A model has been produced that is well defined and can be vigorously compared against numerous observed statistics in a quantative manner. The rainfall model presented in this thesis can be used to provide accurate synthetic rainfall data at sites with minimal historical rainfall data providing a powerful tool for application in hydrological risk analysis across Australia. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1282259 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2007
