Deriving Storm Intensity Formula Based on the Relationship between the GEV Parameters and Durations
Abstract:Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution model is fitted to the annual maximum rainfall intensity data for Dongguan city and is compared with Log-Pearson-Ⅲ and Gumbel model commonly used in china . The goodness-of-fit test is used to seek among GEV、Log-Pearson-Ⅲ and Gumbel distribution model which fits best. According to the result of test
the GEV distribution model is better than Log-Pearson-Ⅲ and Gumbel distribution model. Horner's equation is common used for deriving storm intensity formula. However
the method is uncertainty and complicated to estimate parameters. There are no explanation solutions for the parameters. So
a new method to derive storm intensity formula by the relationship of the GEV parameters with durations is proposed and compared with the method based on Horner's equation. The result shows that the method is better fit to the observed data. In addition
it is robust and convenient to estimate parameters.
