Rainfall Curve Dictionary Dialog Box

This dialog lets you define dimensionless rainfall curves. These curves are stored in the Dimensionless Rainfall Curves Engineering Library, and can be used to define Global and local Storm Data.

The Rainfall Curve Dictionary dialog box is accessible by clicking the Ellipsis button of the Dimensionless Depths field when a Dimensionless Rainfall Curve entry is highlighted in the Engineering Library explorer pane.

The dialog contains the following controls:

  • Edit: Opens the Time Settings dialog box, allowing you to define the start time, stop time, and increment for the current rainfall curve.
  • Graph: Graphs a plot of the current rainfall curve.

The Rainfall Curve Dictionary dialog box also contains the following table:

Time vs. Depth Table: lets you define time vs. depth points that describe the current rainfall curve. The time column will be either Synthetic Time or Time, depending on whether the Dimensionless Time Type specified in the library entry is Dimensionless Time or Time, respectively.
