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.
Overview and Methodology Documentation
List of Sites (Analysis links)
- List of Sites - Analysis Results - This page contains all sites with links to the full analysis of each site. Quality control information, site results, and distribution results are all included.
- Shape Files - The final results and rainfall contours as ESRI Shape Files.
- Autcad DXF Files - The DXF Export of all contours (Autcad DXF format).
- Surfer SRF Files - All FIles in Surfer format.
- Surfer Grid Files - The Grid Files for the Analysis, Surfer and AASCII format.
- Surfer Post Files - Post maps showing values and locations used in analysis.
- Google Earth (KML) Demo - See how the maps look in Google Earth.
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.

Kriging Analysis Results
- Kriging Analysis Results - The full rainfall distribution results were fit to state isohyetal plots using standard kriging techniques. Each of the results for all analyzed durations and return periods are included here.
