An analysis of the rainfall time structure by box counting-some practical implications
Author
Summary, in English
The scale-invariant behavior of the rainfall time structure was investigated by applying the box counting method to rainfall time series. Two years of minute observations, 90 years of daily observations and 170 years of monthly observations were analyzed and the results were interpreted and related to physical properties of the rainfall process. This paper discusses the question of whether an hypothesis of temporal scale invariance is valid for rainfall and the possibilities of using it in practical hydrology.
