A study of the scaling properties of rainfall in spain and its appropriateness to generate intensity-duration-frequency curves from daily records

A methodology based on the fractal properties of rainfall has been applied to obtain the intensity-duration-frequency, IDF, curves for 100 pluviometric Spanish stations over the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands from their daily precipitation series. The scaling behaviour of maximum rainfal...
