An intensity-duration-frequency curve (IDF curve) is a mathematical function that relates the intensity of an event (e.g. rainfall) with its duration and frequency of occurrence. [1] Frequency is the inverse of the probability of occurrence. These curves are commonly used in hydrology for flood forecasting and civil engineering for urban ...
The simulated model parameters for subcatchments are surface roughness, depression storage, slope, flow path length; for Infiltration: Horton: max/min rates and decay constant; Green-Ampt: hydraulic conductivity, initial moisture deficit and suction head; Curve Number: NRCS (SCS) Curve number; All: time for saturated soil to fully drain; for ...
The highest landfall probability is somewhere along the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle − possibly the Big Bend area, the curve of Florida's peninsula around the Gulf of Mexico − late ...
Time of concentration is useful in predicting flow rates that would result from hypothetical storms, which are based on statistically derived return periods through IDF curves. [4] [5] For many (often economic) reasons, it is important for engineers and hydrologists to be able to accurately predict the response of a watershed to a given rain event.
Hurricane Helene strengthened into an "extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane" before making landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast late Thursday night, according to the National Hurricane Center ...
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection closed 30 state parks and evacuated hundreds of campers. [10] United States President Bill Clinton also declared a federal state of emergency in Florida in anticipation of the storm's approach. [11] Nearly 1.37 million Florida residents were told to evacuate. [12]
A new zone that includes waters surrounding Florida will be watched closely by AccuWeather meteorologists for potential tropical development next week. AccuWeather meteorologists are constantly ...
Common developmental patterns seen during tropical cyclone development, and their Dvorak-assigned intensities. The Dvorak technique (developed between 1969 and 1984 by Vernon Dvorak) is a widely used system to estimate tropical cyclone intensity (which includes tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane/typhoon/intense tropical cyclone intensities) based solely on visible and infrared ...
