Abstract: An intensity–duration–area–frequency (IDAF) function is derived for the small-scale, large-intensity limit of multifractal fields. A parameterization of the function from tropical rainfall, filmed with a digital camera in Mexico City, is being attempted. Implications of the formulae are being discussed.
