CLIMABR part II: generation of precipitation profile

The research about precipitation in Brazil has been restricted, most of time, to predict the maximum - total - or probable maximum intensity, this being done on the basis of historical series. Only few projects consider the corresponding profiles to these precipitations. The lack of representative models has forced the use of models developed abroad, despite the fact that the obtained results demonstrate, many times, was in inadequability to represent the typical climatic conditions in Brazil. The aim of the present work to detail complementarily to the development of the CLIMABR model, described by Oliveira et al. (2003), and show its application for instantaneous profile generation associated to synthetic precipitation series, for the climatic conditions of the State of Rio de Janeiro. In the generated synthetic series were obtained for each simulated day, among other informations, the duration of the events, the standardized values of the instantaneous maximum precipitation and the time of its occurrence throughout the events. The last two values were utilized to get the precipitation profile represented by a double exponential function that was adjusted to each daily event.
