A stochastic rainfall model that can reproduce important rainfall properties across the timescales from several minutes to a decade

A stochastic rainfall model that can reproduce various rainfall characteristics at timescales between 5 min and one decade is introduced. The model generates the fine-scale rainfall time series using a randomized Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse model. Then the rainstorms are shuffled such that the correlation structure between the consecutive storms are preserved. Finally, the time series is rearranged again at the monthly timescale based on...
