Abstract
The results of three years’ work on concentrated rain-gage networks and, on measurements of rainfall extent and intensity by means of radar are described. Thunderstorm rainfall is shown to be multicellular, so that the application of area-depth data is more complex than is usually assumed. The orientation, duration, and path of storm cells are shown to have marked effects on area-depth curves for a given basin. Data on area-depth relationships are presented for networks having areas of 5.2 sq miles, 95 sq miles, and 280 sq miles.
