Generation of hourly rainfall process at inanam, Sabah using NSRP-fourier approach

The purpose of this research is to determine the rainfall distribution and patterns at Inanam, Sabah. This study would like to model hourly rainfall series at Inanam Sabah using Neymann-Scott Rectangular Pulse (NSRP) Fourier model. The rainfall data is divided to two periods first is calibration per...
