Clock-Hour/Instantaneous Rainfall Rate Relationships Applicable to the Eastern United States.
Abstract
A methodology is described which provides climatological estimates of the frequencies of instantaneous rainfall rates at a point and along a surface horizontal path length as a function of the clock-hour rate. Clock-hourly precipitation amounts are utilized since they are available for a period of record for many first-order stations in the CONUS and for a selected number of overseas locations. Point instantaneous rainfall rates measured at Island Beach, New Jersey; Franklin, North Carolina; and Miami, Florida provided the input to these clock-hour/instantaneous rate relationships. These relationships are intended primarily for use over the Eastern United States but may find application for other areas. (Author)
