What does 'return period' mean?
Consider how frequently weather events happen.
What does an IDF curve represent?
Remember how rainfall events are classified.
Is a 100-year storm expected to occur every 100 years?
Think about statistical probabilities versus events.
Given a set of rainfall data, create an IDF curve plotting rainfall intensity against duration for 2, 5, and 10-year return periods.
Ensure to apply the Gumbel distribution for accuracy when estimating rainfall intensity.
Discuss how climate change might affect the ability of IDF curves to predict future rainfall events.
Think about how historical data represents past conditions that may no longer hold.
