Disaggregation of daily rainfall data using Bartlett Lewis Rectangular Pulse model: a case study in central Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract

Short duration rainfall data are required for certain hydrological risk assessments. However, short timescale rainfall intensity records are still scarce due to the high cost and low reliability of the monitoring systems. One way to solve this problem is by disaggregating rainfall data using stochastic methods. This study used the Bartlett Lewis Rectangular Pulse model to disaggregate daily rainfall into hourly rainfall for ten stations in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia.
