DDF: DDF results from a DDFImport object

Description

Extracts results from a data frame imported using the DDFImport function

Usage

DDF(x, duration, RP = 100)

Value

A DDF13 or DDF22 estimate of rainfall depth (mm)

Arguments

x

A data frame of DDF13 or DDF22 results imported using the DDFImport function

duration

the duration (hrs) for which a rainfall depth estimate is required

RP

the return period (years) for which a rainfall depth estimate is required

Author

Anthony Hammond

Details

The .xml files only provide a set number of durations and return periods for DDF13 and DDF22. This is an interpolator function to derive depths for intervening durations and return periods. The result is rounded to an integer.

Examples

# Import DDF13 results from an NRFA Peak Flows XML file
if (FALSE) {
ddf13_4003 <- DDFImport("C:/Data/NRFAPeakFlow_v9/Suitable for QMED/04003.xml", DDFVersion = 13)
}

# Estimate the 20-year, 5-hour depth
if (FALSE) {
DDF(ddf13_4003, duration = 5, RP = 20)
}
