Analysis of rainfall time structures on a scale of hours

The paper is motivated by the enormous variability of short-term rainfall time structures which need to be discretized into several typical variants and explained from the viewpoint of rainfall types producing them. We present six variants of the time structure of 6-h rainfalls in Czechia, distinguished by a novel methodology for designing synthetic hyetographs. Reference 6-h rainfall episodes were extracted from radar-derived precipitation time...
