Model:PrecipitationDistribution

PrecipitationDistribution

Also known as
Model type	Tool
Model part of larger framework	LandLab
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial, Hydrology, Climate
One-line model description	Generate random sequence of precipitation events
Extended model description	Landlab component that generates precipitation events using the rectangular Poisson pulse model described in Eagleson (1978, Water Resources Research). No particular units must be used, but it was written with the storm units in hours (hr) and depth units in millimeters (mm).

Keywords:	precipitation,

Memory requirements
Typical run time

Describe input parameters	grid : ModelGrid A Landlab grid (optional). If provided, storm intensities will be stored as a grid scalar field as the component simulates storms. mean_storm_duration : float Average duration of a precipitation event. mean_interstorm_duration : float Average duration between precipitation events. mean_storm_depth : float Average depth of precipitation events. total_t : float, optional If generating a time series, the total amount of time. delta_t : float or None, optional If you want to break up storms into determined subsections using yield_storm_interstorm_duration_intensity, a delta_t is needed. random_seed : int or float, optional Seed value for random-number generator.
