Rainfall generator for the Rhine basin : multi-site generation of weather variables for the entire drainage area

This is the final report of a project on the development of a rainfall generator for the Rhine basin. The request for this generator arose from the need to study the likelihood of extreme river discharges in the Netherlands, using a hydrological/hydraulic model. Long-duration, multi-site simulations by daily precipitation and temperature time series for the entire Rhine basin are needed for this purpose. Temperature is included to determine snow accumulation and snowmelt. Daily precipitation and temperature data from 36 stations in Germany, Luxemburg, France and Switzerland for the period 1961-1995 are considered.
