INTRODUCTION
Bulletin No. 195, RainfaZZ AnaZysis for Drainage Design,
comprises three volumes issued as separately bound publications
that complement one another but are also useful as independent
documents. Volume I contains short - duration precipitation data.
This volume, Volume II, contains analyses of long- duration precipi-
tation frequency records for storms lasting from one day to 60
days. Data on rainfall and snowfall are included. Volume III
contains precipitation intensity - duration- frequency data.
Volume I includes records of precipitation for storm
durations shorter than one day recorded by gages having five or
more years of record. Volume II includes selected data on daily
rainfall frequency, with 20 or more years of record. The data
include the following:
All records evaluated during the past 15 years by
the Department of Water Resources for spillway
analysis.
Records from stations that have been added to
complete a minimum statewide grid.
Comprehensive countywide data sets provided by
j several county flood control districts.
Records of gages having 70 or more years of daily
rainfall record.
Data on extreme rainfall contributed by many
consulting engineers and private meteorologists.

The daily depth- duration - frequency tables are arranged
by drainage areas for all California stations with 20 or more
years of record. (These areas are the major drainage provinces
and hydrographic units shown on Plate 1.) The tables report
data for periods of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and
60 consecutive days, and total annual precipitation. These are
records from which the regional coefficients of skewness and
variation used in Volume I were derived.
The usefulness of time - related data depends on the fre-
quency with which observations are made. However, data storage
capacity limits the total amount of information that can be
collected and analyzed economically. Restricting the data to an
annual series of extremes, as has been done in this study, has
simplified the maintenance of the data file. Only the greatest
-1-
u
depth of rain for each year for the specific durations under study
are reported here.

A permanent data bank containing long- duration data
(for 1 to 60 days), reported here as Volume II, is filed in the
Computer Systems Office of the Department of Water Resources on
a seven - channel magnetic tape. The procedure for editing and
updating the daily rainfall frequency data file is Computer
Process 842. Data are retrieved and analyzed by Computer Process
843. The data are filed in this system by the drainage areas
shown on Plate 1.
The data bank is a truly cooperative enterprise between
the Department of Water Resources and the agencies listed under
"Acknowledgments ", which have contributed the data reported in
Bulletin No. 195. The information filed in this bank is available
to all cooperators in this study. The locations of those stations
having 20 or more years of record are shown on Plate 2 and listed
in the index.
Limitations of Rain Gages
A word of caution regarding the inadequacies of rain
gage records is important to the user of this data. Both wind
and snow can cause gages to underregister by preventing precipi-
tation from entering the gage. Turbulent air reduces rainfall
catch by deflecting the rain from the gage orifice. Its deflec-
tion of snow is even greater. Snow also interferes with the
functioning of the gage by occasionally forming a thick cap over
the gage opening. The loss of record that ensues is usually
unknown. It has not been possible, therefore, to correct these
studies to account for such errors in the record. The data
user should probably select a large return period or.use some
other procedure as a safety factor under snowy conditions.
Earlier Reports
Two previous publications have been useful in preparing
this report. In 1961, the U. S. Weather Bureau issued its
Technical Paper No. 40 in which are summarized data for storm
durations of 30 minutes to 24 hours and return periods up to 100
years. The paper's full utility was limited by rain frequency
maps drawn to a scale of 1:10,000,000. In 1973, the National
Weather Service published a rain frequency atlas for California`'
in which the depiction of rain frequency in the State was improved
by maps at a scale of 1:1,000,000. The atlas developed data for
6 -hour and 24 -hour storm durations and return periods up to 100

Maximu Daily Rainfall
Extremes of rainfall are best expressed in terms of
statistical variation, rather than in inches of rain. Evaluating
rainfall events as standard deviations above the mean provides
a truer measure of maximum rainfall. When extreme rains are
thus normalized, the highest values often are shown to have
occurred at stations other than those that received the heaviest
rains. This is demonstrated by the data shown in Table 1. In
the North Coastal drainage province, for example, the extreme
recorded daily rainfall occurred in 1949 at Gasquet Ranger Station,
where the maximum daily precipitation was 474 millimetres (18.70
inches). This is 2.7 standard deviations above the mean. However,
when the data are normalized, the extreme rains in that area are
shown instead to have taken place in 1951 at Orick, where the
maximum daily precipitation was 292 millimetres (11.50 inches),
or 4.0 standard deviations above the mean. Occasionally the values
for extreme recorded rainfall and the normalized extreme rainfall
coincide at one station, as in the case of Lytle Creek in the
Santa Ana drainage province. For the most part, though, such
events are the exception.

ANALYSIS OF THE DATA
The equations of mean (X), standard deviations (S), the
coefficient of skew (g) , the coefficient of kurtosis (k) , and
the coefficient of variation (CV) are basic to this study. They
are shown here:

CV = —
X
Where X = the magnitude of an event and x = X - X
E J The mean expresses the central tendency of the data
set. The .standard deviation measures the deviation from the mean.
The skew shows the lack of symmetry, or lopsidedness, that occurs
in a rainfall data set due to bounding by a lower limit and
virtually no bound on rains' upper limit. Kurtosis is used here
to test for appropriateness of various frequency distributions.
A number of probability distributions have been found
to be adequate for hydrologic frequency analysis; these include
the normal, exponential, Gumbel, log - normal, log Pearson's Type
III, Pearson's Type III (Gamma), and Weibull distributions . For
each distribution there exists a unique relationship between the
coefficients of skewness and kurtosis. The Pearson's Type III
distribution is used in this report.
The precipitation depth - duration - frequency tables in
this volume were prepared with the Department's Computer
Program No. 3024. This program uses the general e uation for
hydrologic frequency analysis from Chow's Handbook , which is:

P. = mean maximum annual storm for duration i

K = frequency factor (in standard deviations)
for return period of j years
S. = standard deviation of maximum annual storm
1 for duration i
The frequency factor (K) is from the Pearson's Type III
Distribution and is related to the return period, as shown on
Table 2. As an example of the significance of skewness in
hydrologic frequency analysis, a 1,000 -year storm is defined as
the mean plus 3.67 standard deviations for a skewness of 0.4 and
the mean plus 5.91 standard deviations for a skewness of 2.0.
Regional coefficients of skewness (Sk) are used because
skewness is quite sensitive to large storm events in small statis-
tical samples. The sensitivity of skewness was illustrated when
the largest daily rainfalls from 79 daily rainfall records, each
having 70 years or more of record, was normalized in terms of
standard deviations in excess of the mean. The coefficient of
determination between the normalized maximum daily rainfall and
the coefficient of skewness was 0.74, indicating 74 percent of
the variation in the coefficient of skewness is related to the
size of the largest daily event in the rainfall record.
Regional Coefficients
Standard deviations of extreme annual rainfall are sub-
ject to sizable random errors for small samples of years. To
overcome the small sample problem, the standard deviations have
all been converted to a dimensionless coefficient of variation
(CV) by dividing the standard deviations by means. Averages of
the coefficients of variation are quite stable over a broad range
of storm deviations, as well as over a broad geographic region.
The uniformity of the coefficient of variation with
duration is illustrated on Figure 1, which shows a nearly uniform
coefficient of variation for all storm durations from one to 60
days. This was based on statewide averages. The actual values
selected for use in this report are shown on Table 3 for the 14

geographic zones shown on Figure '2. These values of CV were
based on weighted mean values derived from the length of record.
It is anticipated that these values will be periodically modified.
The geographic zones were selected on the basis of similar values
of CV. The chief problem with the CV values in Table 3 is demon-
strated by the abrupt discontinuities between adjacent zones. To
overcome these, lines of equal CV have been prepared for future
consideration. They are shown in Plate 11. Perhaps some smoothing
technique should be used in all of these 14 zones. The only zone,
where smoothing was used was the southeast part of the zone, where
the random fluctuations (in CV with duration) were felt to be
excessive.
The coefficient of skew (CS) was averaged in zones of
similar values (Table 4). These are shown on Figure 3. Regional
coefficients of skewness were selected to avoid the situation in
which a projected rainfall event for a large return period at a
short duration would exceed one for a long duration. Such a
situation has occurred in previous reports.
Frequency Distribution
The criterion for the selection of a frequency distribu-
tion to represent extreme annual precipitation for this report
is the skew- kurtosis relationship shown on Figure 4, which shows
curves representing log - normal, Weibull, and Pearson's Type III
distributions, as well as points representing normal and Gumbel
distributions. The data points represent weighted averages of
skew and kurtosis from 512 daily rainfall measuring stations
with 21,934 station -years of record. The Pearson's Type III dis-
tribution is the clear choice for all storm durations up to 30
days. The Weibull distribution is the best choice for 60 -day
storm durations and for yearly total rainfall. however, the
Type III distribution is used throughout this study.
Fixed - Interval Corrections
Design storms provide the maximum values that are likely
to occur for any duration, regardless of beginning and ending time.
Weather observations, by contrast, are taken at a fixed time each
day. Previous studies have shown that; on the average, the maxi-
' mum daily rainfall occurring in the wettest consecutive 1,440
minutes is 14 percent greater than that taken from a once -a -day
observation made at a fixed time. The same fixed rainfall
measurement interval exists, regardless of duration; that is, the
maximum annual rain falling for 60 consecutive minutes is 14 per-
cent greater than the clock -hour maximum rains observed at fixed
intervals.
These fixed interval corrections are described by
Weisse as independent of the time interval under study and as
equally valid when used to describe hourly, daily, or monthly
extreme data. The values of clock -hour correction (which have
been used in these studies) are shown in the following tabulation.

Two methods exist for extracting the extreme values of
time series data: using either the highest value of a total
series, regardless of the time it occurs, or the highest value
for each year. The analyzed results affect only relatively short
return Periods because, for periods longer than ten years, the
two series merge into one.
f
The partial duration series are those values that
exceed a given base level, no matter when they occur. With this
series, an analysis may include one year in which several large
floods occurred and other years in which no storm as large as the
base level occurred. The partial duration series is used for
studying storms that have return periods of less than five years;
longer return periods show little substantial difference.
Partial duration series analysis requires the data
analyst to use foresight in selecting a base level of storm events
for a predetermined number of data points.
The annual series consists of the largest annual value
for each year, with only one value per year. Langbein
compared the results of the annual series to the partial duration
series,as shown by the following conversion factors.

The annual series provides one great advantage over the
partial duration series: ease of data file management. When the
files of extreme data are updated, one year's record can be added
to the data file for each year without regard to prior data files.
Depth- Duration - Frequency Tables
The depth - duration - frequency tables in this report have
several parts. The first part with station number, station name,
elevation, location, and county code is described in "Key to
Station Descriptions" in this volume.

The second part of the tables is a matrix of columns
of storm events ranging from 1 day to 60 days, including the
annual total precipitation, and return periods ranging from 2 to
10,000 years, with a probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimated
as the Wean plus 15 standard deviations. The calendar, fiscal,
or water year total precipitation is coded as C YR , F YR , or W Y R ,
or when unspecified, as 365 D .
The third part of the table contains the mean, which
is the arithmetic average; the clock -hour correction, where used;
the calculated skew; the regional skew; and the actual skew, which
is used on the computations for the duration - return period matrix.
The fourth part of the table contains the kurtosis,
which is the fourth moment function. II The number of data points
used in the computations for each column is coded as N. The
year in which the highest .rainfall of record occurred is coded as
Record Year. The highest precipitation for each duration is
indicated in the row labeled Record Maximum Normalized Max is
•the record maximum in units of standard deviations in excess of
-the mean for each duration. The calculated coefficient of varia-
tion is coded as Calc. Coef. of Var The regional coefficient
of variation is coded as Regn. Coef. Var The coefficient of
variation used in this report is coded as Used Coef. Var
The fifth part of the table contains dimensionless
ratios of precipitation for return periods of 10 to 10,000 years,
expressed as percentages of the mean annual precipitation. These
are coded as RP 10 /A, etc. PMP is also expressed as PMP /A (probable
maximum precipi.t o expressed as a fraction of the mean annual
rainfall (A) ) , so that the mean annual precipitation can easily
be used as an interstation interpolating device, as well as a
means of comparing adjacent records for consistency.
The data user is expected to be concerned mainly with
the first two parts of the table. The remainder of each is
printed in the interest of continued procedures development.

states: "Where N is small, results are not dependable ". In
this application, "small" means records of 25 years or less.
From sampling theory is derived the concept: errors are propor-
tional to one over the square root of the sample size.
Safety Factors in Hydrology
Engineers are accustomed to using safety factors in
the design of structures. In hydrology, safety factors have con-
sisted of designing for "spillway design floods ", "project design
floods% "1,000 -year storms ", "probable maximum precipitation ",
and other bases for rationalizing the use of very rare storm

events in design of flood protection structures. The fact that
design storms are occasionally exceeded points out the need for
an assessment of the risks of failure associated with selected
return periods.
Frequency analysis defines the event which can be
expected once every "Y" years, on the average. This does not
imply that a "Y -year event" will occur regularly every "Y" years.
Return periods, as well as flood magnitudes, are subject to
analysis. For example, there is a two percent chance that a
50 -year event will occur in any one year.
The 10,000 -year event with a skew of 1.3 is defined as
the mean plus 6.64 standard deviations, as shown on Table 2. The
10,000 -year return periods based on 10 to 30 years of record will
be considered to have low statistical reliability. However, their
use in hydrologic studies has considerable utility and compensates
for this disadvantage.
Since some hydraulic structures have design lives of
100 years and since a low level of risk, such as a one -in -a-
hundred chance of failure, is desirable, the joint probabilities
of the two events are calculated by multiplying, in this case, a
one -in -a- hundred risk with a 100 -year project life for a design
return period of 10,000 years.
The permissible level of risk during the life of a
project can be considered when a return period is selected. A
project with a one -year useful life, for which a one percent chance
of failure would constitute a permissible level of risk, would be
designed for a return period of 100 years.
The relationship of permissible level• of risk and return
period is shown on Figure 5 for a broad range of project lives
and return periods. The graph was prepared from a probability
formula in Hydrology for Engineers (Linsley, Kohler, and Paulhus,
1958) It indicates that there is a 10 percent chance of a
once -in -460 -year event occurring in the next 50 years. Permissible
risk in discussed in a paper by Ben Chie Yen. 13
Meterological models of the precipitation mechanism
have been based on three physical limitations:
• Moisture in the air over a basin
• Moisture carried into a basin by winds
° The fraction of the inflowing moisture that
will precipitate
These variables, although difficult to measure directly, are
commonly estimated for orographic and convective storm types.
Models of the precipitation mechanism are frequently calibrated
C
by historical precipitation data. A good discussion of probable
maximum precipitation was prepared in 1967 by Vance Myers of the
U. S. Weather Bureau.
' Statistical models represent a direct approach to
estimating PMP with a minimum amount of assumption. A comparison
of these two approaches to PMP computing was made by Hershf ield, 1 0
who used the mean plus 15 standard deviations to estimate prob-
able maximum precipitation. The value of 15 standard deviations
was an upper enveloping value for extreme storms of record. The
use of a given level of risk or a given number of standard
deviations above the mean can be a management decision, when a
relatively stable method of computing the means, standard devia-
tions, and skew coefficients is available.
