Résumé :
|
Measurement techniques and treatment of rainfall data have been profoundly modified by the use of rainfall-runoff simulation programmes that use digital rainfall series statistical rainfall data. The shift of focus towards environmental protection requires detailed simulation of complex systems based on accurate rainfall series with a sufficient temporal and spatial resolution. Questions of data quality, uses of historical series in raw or modified form, modelling based on the data, etc, are of paramount interest to urban hydrologists. Three main themes characterised the third worshop on urban rainfall: data requirements, rainfall modelling, and future developments. The 25 papers selected for these proceedings cover the following topics: statistical analysis of rainfall data; rainfall modelling and diagnostics; hydrological requirements and standardisation of data; measurments and data control (systematic variation, and radom variation and filing-in graps) and climatic change. They summarise the experience of different countries and compare the approaches currently being used to provide an authoritative survey of the state of the art in this brach of urban hydrology. Together they demonstrate the growing scientific understanding that is underpinning improved practice in urban rainfall management.
