Rainfall generator for the Meuse basin : description of simulations with and without a memory term and uncertainty analysis

The rainfall generator has been developed to generate long synthetic sequences of daily precipitation and temperature for the Meuse basin [see e.g. Leander and Buishand (2004), Leander et al. (2005), and Buishand and Leander (2011)] using the nearest-neighbour resampling (NNR) technique. These sequences have been used for discharge simulations with the semi-distributed HBV model (Aalders et al., 2004; Leander et al., 2005) to estimate the design discharge for flood protection works in the Netherlands.
