Circulation pattern based parameterization of a multiplicative random cascade for disaggregation of observed and projected daily rainfall time series

Abstract: Abstract. The use of multiplicative random cascades (MRCs) for temporal rainfall disaggregation has been extensively studied in the past. MRCs are appealing for rainfall disaggregation due to their formal simplicity and the possibility to extract the model parameters directly from observed high resolution rainfall data. These parameters, however, represent the rainfall characteristics of the observation period. Since rainfall characteristics of different time slices are changing due to climate variability, we … Show more

“…In this study, we perturbed the daily rainfall time series and hypothesized that the multifractal parameters are stationary over time. However, given that the rainfall generation mechanisms are subject to changing circulation patterns, the multifractal parameters might not be stationary (Lisniak et al, ). Thus, characterizing the multifractal properties with climatic shifts would improve our approach.…”

“…Based on the successful applications of MRC models to high‐resolution hydrologic analyses (e.g., Ding, Wallner, Müller, & Haberlandt, ; Linznar, Lomotowski, & Rupp, ; Lisniak, Franke, & Bernhofer, ; Müller & Haberlandt, ), we adopted the stochastic MRC proposed by Müller and Haberlandt () for disaggregation of the stress‐induced daily precipitation sets into hourly rainfall (Figure ). This disaggregation scheme uses the multifractal properties that divide a coarser mother rain cell into multiple baby cells at finer scales, enabling analysts to stochastically achieve hourly rainfall series from daily observations.…”

“…Ideas to cope with changing climatic conditions for disaggregation approaches are currently investigated. Two examples relevant in this context for the statistics-based cascade model are a circulation-based parameterisation in order to better predict changing weather patterns related to changing climate (Lisniak et al, 2013) and an intensity-based categorisation (Anis and Rode, 2014). Current research also focuses on the incorporation of the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to better predict rainfall intensities in future climates (Bürger et al, 2014).…”

“…The presented weather generator (i.e. ERM) could be extended from a single site to a raster-based multi site weather generator, which might be coupled with a cascade model for the downscaling from daily to 5 min time series [39]. However, this would require a change for the hydrological modelling to a raster based model like WaSim-ETH [37].…”
