| dc.description.abstract | This thesis describes the development of a new technique which significantly extends the applicability of stochastic point rainfall models that require historical data for calibration. The technique is demonstrated using a high-resolution point rainfall model based on wet-dry alternating storm events. A model has been produced that is well defined and can be vigorously compared against numerous observed statistics in a quantative manner. The rainfall model presented in this thesis can be used to provide accurate synthetic rainfall data at sites with minimal historical rainfall data providing a powerful tool for application in hydrological risk analysis across Australia. | en |
