Physical properties – Rain events

In this section we describe the rain events used by various parts of the SCALGO Live system. For instance, these are used in Core+ DynamicFlood. We refer to the documentation of those analyses for more information about how they are used.

We create design rain events based on publicly available rain data. Currently we source rain data on a national scale, please refer to the country specific section of your country of interest to read about any rain data we may have for this country. Depending on the rain data available for the country, we may apply different methods to generate design rain events. General methods we use are described in the subsections of this section.
