ABSTRACT

In Vietnam, rainfall data usually received using daily rainfall at all hydrology stations with higher time resolution are scarce. However, its analyses to achieve IDF (Intensity-Duration-Frequency) curves are often required at a finer scale such as hourly. Therefore, it needs to develop and apply methods to derive the IDF characteristics of short-duration events from daily rainfall statistics in Vietnam. In recent years, the need for new insights into the rainfall process leading to new approaches to model the distribution of rainfall intensities in time and space was recognized. This research aims to establish IDF curves for monsoon climate area in Vietnam based on scaling method. Scaling properties of extreme rainfall are examined in the Red River Delta of Vietnam in order to establish scaling behavior of statistical moments over different durations. Such scaling or scale-invariant models enable us to scale data from one temporal resolution to another, and thus, help to overcome the lack of the extreme rainfall data of sub-daily durations. The disaggregation or downscaling techniques are used to obtain sub-daily rainfall data from daily rainfall data for the derivation of scaled IDF curves. Research results show that most of rainfall amount (approximately 70%) received from rains occurring between 6:0 pm to 6:0 am of the day after that, the daytime usually less rainfall occurrence with only 30%. The peak rainfall is usually occurred during 0:0 am to 4:0 am having approximately 42.98% of rainfall amount over a day. The peak rainfall likely happen earlier in the recent year (36% rainfall amount over a day occurrence from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm in 2008). The analysis also illustrated that approximately 40% of rainfall events have duration less than 60 minutes. In contrast, only approximately 9% of rainfall events have duration more than 6 hours but total rainfall depths of these events is approximately.
