Abstract

To automate the analysis of post-wildfire rainfall-runoff events across numerous storms and watersheds, the hydrologic time-series analysis Rainfall-Runoff Event Detection and Information (RREDI) algorithm was developed. The RREDI algorithm first uses feature detection and signal processing of storm precipitation and flow data to identify rainfall-runoff events. Then each rainfall-runoff event is extracted using 15-minute flow and instantaneous precipitation data and the timing and magnitude of the start, peak, and end of event is extracted. These identifiers are then used to calculate a set of event attributes including time to peak, response time, duration, volume, and percent rise. These attributes from the identified rainfall-runoff events can then analyzed to answer research questions regarding variability in rainfall-runoff patterns within and between watersheds. This algorithm utilizes the open-source Python.
