Abstract

Usage of a deterministic fractal-multifractal (FM) procedure to model high-resolution rainfall time series, as derived distributions of multifractal measures via fractal interpolating functions, is reported. Four rainfall storm events having distinct geometries, one gathered in Boston and three others observed in Iowa City, are analyzed. Results show that the FM approach captures the main characteristics of these events, as the fitted storms preserve the records' general trends, their autocorrelations and spectra, and their multifractal character.
