description The generation of rainfall sequence at subdaily scale is needed for various applications in hydrology. In this study a clustered point process model the Neyman Scott Rectangular Pulse Model (NSRP) with mixed exponential distribution for cell intensity is selected to produce synthetic hourly rainfall sequence of the Klang Valley, Malaysia. In the NSRP model, storms arrive following a Poisson process. Each storm generates rain cells with the position of cells relative to storm origin are determined by the exponential distribution. Individual cell has width and height which correspond to the cell’s duration and intensity respectively. The NSRP model with mixed exponential distribution has seven parameters, X, v , B, n, a, and 0 that characterize respectively the storm origin, number of cells, positions of cells, duration of cells, mixing probability and the intensity of cells.
