Rainfall Intensity Equation Coefficient outside of Denver
Rainfall Intensity Equation Coefficient outside of Denver
(OP)
I'm trying to develop an IDF curve for Craig, Colorado. I'm using the UDFCD Rational Method spreadsheet and have the appropriate 1-hour rainfall depths but I can't seem find the appropriate coefficients for the Rainfall Intensity Equation (a, b, and c). Is there an adjustment factor or a table somewhere based on zone?

create a x,y (scatter) chart
add a trend line
display the equation on the chart
ok, 3 mouse clicks

DDF Coefficients calculated using PDF from NOAA for Craig, CO (ID 05-1928)
Inch = a0 x (minutes ^ a1)
Where a0 and a1 are the coefficients for year yr
Please verify before use.
See http://www.hydrocalc.com/beta/rain_ddf/main.html#
You can also convert the DDF to either IDF or to Hyetograph.
Thanks
