摘要:In the paper, two maximum precipitation models for Legnica were developed. For this purpose archival pluviographic records from the time span 1961–2010 were used. The first model was developed on the basis of rainfall data of durations ranging from 5 minutes to 6 days. In the second model, rainfall data with durations ranging from 10 min to 6 days were used, and precipitation amounts for 5 minutes duration were extrapolated. Generalized exponential distribution was used to develop the models. Both models were compared with measurement data using relative residual mean square error.
