Multivariate disaggregation of daily to hourly rainfall series

This study focuses on a method to disaggregate daily rainfall into hourly precipitation. This method uses the multivariate technique in generating a small scale data from a larger scale data. In this method, the lower-level synthetic series must be consistent with the higher-level series. Hence, thi...

description This study focuses on a method to disaggregate daily rainfall into hourly precipitation. This method uses the multivariate technique in generating a small scale data from a larger scale data.
