The tropical zones have the highest number of storm events followed by the temperate climate. In a recent study, [13] researchers from 63 countries combined 30-minutes rainfall data in order to estimate the global rainfall erosivity (an index combining the amount, frequency and intensity of rainfall). The arid and cold climate zones have very ...
This is a list of countries by average annual precipitation. List. Per the World Bank (2017) [1] [2] Country mm/ year) Continent 1
Data is provided at multiple "levels" of processing, from raw satellite measurements to best-estimate global precipitation maps using combinations of all the constellation observations and other meteorological data. All data from the mission is made freely available to the public on NASA websites. [7]
The rain attenuation prediction models require rainfall rate data which, in turn, can be obtained from in either the prediction rainfall maps, which may reflect inaccurate rain performance prediction, or by actual measured rainfall data that gives more accurate prediction and hence the appropriate selection of FMT.
Here are some reports of actual rainfall totals from the National Weather Service. Numbers are courtesy of a variety of sources, including volunteer observers, highway departments, spotters and ...
A hyetograph is a graphical representation of the distribution of rainfall intensity over time. For instance, in the 24-hour rainfall distributions as developed by the Soil Conservation Service (now the NRCS or National Resources Conservation Service), rainfall intensity progressively increases until it reaches a maximum and then gradually decreases.
It remains a useful method of observing rainfall over data voids such as oceans, [78] as well as the forecasting of precipitation amounts and distribution in the future. A similar technique is used in medium range forecasting, which is known as teleconnections, when systems in other locations are used to help pin down the location of another ...
In the last 34 years, SRC has experienced rainfall events that exceed a 100-year storm event every 2.4 years. We're choosing to not be prepared.
