Abstract

Numerous comprehensive studies, both domestically and internationally, have extensively investigated the estimation of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) over durations ranging from 1 to 3 days. However, there remains an unaddressed need for a systematic approach to estimate PMP over short-term. In this study, we present a novel methodology for estimating short-term PMP. This method, grounded in an enhanced statistical estimation approach, is coupled with the intensity-duration-frequency relationship. It offers a solution to the challenge of estimating PMP for short-term when essential storm data is scarce. We apply this approach to estimate short-term PMP for a nuclear power project located in Shandong. Through rigorous comparison and analysis, our method yields estimations that are notably more rational and precise. This improvement holds valuable potential for future general purpose real-world applications.
