Design Rainfall Intensity–Frequency–Duration Surfaces for Australia: Methodology and Validation
C Schonrock · Technical report, September 2026
Documents the revised IFD grids in the IFD and preburst rainfall lookup: annual maxima extraction from BoM daily and sub-daily records to June 2026, the covariate and Gaussian-process regionalisation of the GEV L-moments, spatial cross-validation and an out-of-sample hindcast, and comparisons with BoM 2016, LIMB 2021 and HARC 2024. Prepared with the assistance of AI and reviewed by the author.
Complete Storm Modelling Approaches: Preburst and Postburst Rainfall
C Schonrock, D J Carroll, D G Carroll · Floodplain Management Australia (FMA) National Conference 2026
Analyses a national complete storm database to relate burst duration and event rarity to preburst and postburst rainfall depths and durations, and provides a practical framework for selecting preburst durations, including for sub-hour bursts not covered by existing ARR products. The regional preburst and postburst tables can be looked up for any location in the IFD and preburst rainfall lookup.
