CO-NM Regional Extreme Precipitation Study

Volume III – Appendix E Page 1 of 33

This Appendix includes the following:

• a list of the storms used in developing representative temporal patterns (refer

to Sections 3.5; 4.1.7; 5.3.1 for details);

• plots of temporal patterns available for use via the MetPortal – Precipitation

Frequency CO-NM REPS

o Historical Representative Patterns

▪ Historical Local Storms

▪ Historical MEC Storms

▪ Historical MLC Storms

o Synthetic Temporal Patterns

▪ Synthetic Local Storm Patterns

▪ Synthetic MEC Storm Patterns

▪ Synthetic MLC Storm Patterns

Sources of the storm data, as shown in the table, include:

• SPAS – Storm Precipitation Analysis System

• WB – Weighing Bucket survey

• NOAA – National Centers for Environmental Information cooperative observer

form (hourly for 15-minute timesteps)

• UDFCD – Urban Drainage and Flood Control District

P indicates a representative, actual historical storm temporal plot is shown below and

available in the MetPortal GUI.

S indicates the temporal pattern was used in the probabilistic analyses for developing

synthetic temporal patterns.

No markings indicate the storm temporal pattern was considered, but not used due to

quality issues, unrepresentativeness of the storm type or other reason.
