Previous findings
Eagleson (1970) pointed out that for given climatic conditions, storm events of a given scale (microscale, mesoscale, or synoptic scale) exhibit similar time distributions when normalized with respect to total rainfall depths and storm durations.
Convective cells and thunderstorms are dominant types of storms at the microscale and the mesoscale, respectively. Events of synoptic scale include frontal systems and cyclones that are typically several hundred miles in extent and often have series of mesoscale subsystems.
8Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
In general, convective and frontal-type storms tend to have their peak rainfall rates near the beginning of the rainfall processes, while cyclonic events have the peak rainfall somewhere in the central third of the storm duration.
Koutsoyiannis and Foufoula-Georgiou (1993) proposed a simple scaling model to characterize the time distribution of instantaneous rainfall intensity and incremental rainfall depth within a storm event.

Simple Scaling Model for Storm Events
A natural process fulfills the simple scaling property if the underlying probability distribution of some physical measurements at one scale is identical to the distribution at another scale, multiplied by a factor that is a power function of the ratio of the two scales (Gupta and Waymire, 1991).
11Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Let X(t) and X(t) denote measurements at two distinct time or spatial scales t and t, respectively. We say that the process {X(t), t0} has the simple scaling property if there is some real number H such that
for every real > 0. The denotes equality in distribution, and
H is called the scaling exponent.

20Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Assuming that storm events are independent, the identical distribution property allows us to combine the i-th (i = 1, 2, …, ) incremental rainfall percentages of any storm durations to form a random sample, and the parameters (e.g. mean and variance) of the underlying distribution can be easily estimated.

Application of the SSGM model
Design storm hyetographBecause the design storm hyetograph
represents the time distribution of the total storm depth determined by annual maximum rainfall data, the design storm hyetograph is optimally modeled when based on observed storm events that actually produced the annual maximum rainfall, i.e. the so-called annual maximum events .
27Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Event duration the duration of an observed storm event.
Design duration the designated time interval for a design storm.
In general, the design durations do not coincide with the actual durations of historic storm events. The design durations are artificially designated durations used to determine the corresponding annual maximum depths; whereas event durations are actual raining periods of historic storm events.

Annual maximum events tend to occur in certain periods of the year (such as a few months or a season) and tend to emerge from the same storm type. Moreover, annual maximum rainfall data in Taiwan strongly indicate that a single annual maximum event often is responsible for the annual maximum rainfall depths of different design durations. In some situations, single annual maximum event even produced annual maximum rainfalls for many nearby raingauge stations.

Using only annual maximum events for design hyetograph development enables us not only to focus on events of the same dominant storm type, but it also has the advantage of relying on almost the same annual maximum events that are employed to construct IDF curves.
34Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Because the peak rainfall depth is a key element in hydrologic design, an ideal hyetograph should not only describe the random nature of the rainfall process but also the extreme characteristics of the peak rainfall.
Therefore, our objective is to find the incremental dimensionless hyetograph that not only represents the peak rainfall characteristics but also has the maximum likelihood of occurrence.
35Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Our approach to achieve this objective includes two steps: Determine the peak rainfall rate of the
dimensionless hyetograph and its time of occurrence, and
Find the most likely realization of the normalized rainfall process with the given peak characteristics.

48Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Annual maximum events that produced annual maximum rainfall depths of 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, and 72-hour design durations were collected.
All event durations were first divided into twenty-four equal periods i (i=1,2,…,24, D = event duration, =D/24).
Rainfalls of each annual maximum event were normalized, with respect to the total rainfall depth and event duration.

Normality check for normalized rainfalls
The Gauss-Markov model of dimensionless hyetographs considers the normalized rainfalls {Y(i), i=1,2,…, n} as a multivariate normal distribution.
Results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test indicate that at = 0.05 significance level, the null hypothesis was not rejected for most of Y(i)’s.
The few rejected normalized rainfalls occur in the beginning or near the end of an event, and have less rainfall rates.

Translating hyetographs between storms of different durations
Some hyetograph models in the literature are duration-specific (the SCS 6-hr and 24-hr duration hyetographs) and return-period-specific (the alternating block method (Chow, et al., 1988).
The simple scaling property enables us to translate the dimensionless hyetographs between design storms of different durations.
61Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
Translating the dimensionless hyetographs between design storms of durations D and D is accomplished by changing the incremental time intervals by the duration ratio. Values of the normalized rainfalls Y(i) (i=1,2,…,n) remain unchanged.
62Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
For example, the incremental time intervals () of the design storms of 2-hr and 24-hr durations are five (120/24) and sixty (1440/24) minutes, respectively.
The changes in the incremental time intervals are important since they require the subsequent rainfall-runoff modeling to be performed based on the “designated” incremental time intervals.
63Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial ModelingRSLAB-NTU
A significant advantage of the simple scaling model is that developing two separate dimensionless hyetographs for design storms of 2-hr and 24-hr durations can be avoided.
The incremental rainfall depths of a design storm are calculated by multiplying the y-coordinates of the dimensionless hyetograph by the total depth from IDF or DDF curves.
