Abstract

The knowledge of 1-minute rainfall rate distribution is very important in order for the prediction of rainfall attenuation at any location. Due to the availability of 1-minute rainfall rate data is limited, conversion of rainfall rate distribution over a long integration time into the distribution for 1-minute is needed. Therefore several rainfall rate conversion methods were proposed.
