Characterising the space–time structure of rainfall in the Sahel with a view to estimating IDAF curves

Intensity–duration–area–frequency (IDAF) curves are increasingly demanded for characterising the severity of storms and for designing hydraulic structures. Their computation requires inferring areal rainfall distributions over the range of space scales and timescales that are the most relevant...
