Abstract

In the field of flood frequency modelling, two different models are chosen here for the assessment of extreme rainfall events in the summer period; i.e. the Peak Over Threshold (POT) model and the Block Maxima approach. The POT method combines a Poisson distribution for the occurrence and a Generalized Pareto (GP) distribution for the magnitude of the seasonal rainfall events. A Monte Carlo simulation approach is then adopted to determine a derived frequency distribution of peak flows using a probabilistic formulation of the SCS-CN method as stochastic rainfall-runoff model. In order to take into account the uncertainty of the model parameters, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate a sample of different runoff events from different stochastic combination of rainfall depth, storm duration, and initial loss inputs. The distribution of the rainfall storm events is assumed to follow the GP law whose parameters have been estimated through GEV's parameters. Assuming that seasonal maximum peak flood has a Poissonian chronology, it is finally possible to obtain the derived flood frequency curve by the analysis of the resulting flood discharge events.
