 UCF Rainfall Analysis 

 

 

The rainfall analysis and rainfall analysis software was produced as funded projects by the Southwest Florida Water management district and the United States Geologic Survey by the Stormwater Management Institute at University of Central Florida. They are provided here as a service to engineers and technicians needing the results of this analysis.

Return Period Analysis Results

 

For each return period listed a table of the predicted maximum for each duration is shown. The predicted maximum is the value that is determined by (1) fitting the annual actual maxima to a distribution, and (2) fitting these distribution results to a linear regression model. The raw maxima and curve fit parameters are shown in the anslysis results for each site in the List of Sites - Analysis Results.

 

• 2 Year Return Period
• 3 Year Return Period
• 5 Year Return Period
• 10 Year Return Period
• 25 Year Return Period
• 50 Year Return Period
