Case Study of Regional Frequency Analysis Based in L-Moments to the Case of the Annual Rainfall in the Province of Camagüey, Cuba

Abstract

In this research is presented a case study of application of the procedure known as Regional Frequency Analysis based on L-moments, in the study of the annual rainfall in the province of Camagüey, Cuba. It has adopted the above methodology to be statistically robust procedure to compensate for the lack of long-standing historical records for its abundance in the study area. The application of the methodology allowed the estimation of the probability and returns periods of annual rainfall (quantile of interest) and obtaining frequency maps.
