Abstract

Return period values of rainfall for different durations are required in many design problems. For durations of 1 hour and 24 hours, clock-hour and observational-day rainfalls are readily available. To obtain 60-min and 1440.min rainfall from these data suitable conversion factors have to be determined. From a study of rainfall data of about seventy recording raingauge stations, it was found that a conversion factor 1.15 can be adopted to transform clock-hour to 60 min and observational day to 1440-min rainfall.
