Storm Event Profiles - United Kigdom and Other Workflows

This page is displayed if the IDF Storm Group selected is one of the following types:

• User Defined IDF Table
• Hydro-35
• IDF Table Equation
• IDF Curve Equation
• IDF Polynomial Equation
• Flood Studies Report (United Kingdom)
• Flood Estimation Handbook (United Kingdom)

Specify the type of storm event to generate. The choices are Time-Intensity and Time-Depth. The default selection is Time-Intensity. If you select Time-Depth, you can then specify whether to generate cumulative or increment depth curves.

In the provided table, select the storm event library and corresponding dimensionless rainfall curve.

In the United Kingdom, you typically select the “UK Storm Profiles.xml” library and then select the Winter and Summer storm event profiles.

The table provides you the choice of any type of storm event profile – this can be either a fixed-time storm event profile or a dimensionless storm event profile.

If there are no storm event profiles available, click the […] button on the right side of either cell in the table. This will open the Engineering Libraries dialog box. From here you have limited editing abilities. You can add an existing engineering library. To create and populate a new library, use the Engineering Libraries command on the ribbon.
