ESTIMATION OF SHORT-PERIOD PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS USING DATA ON WEATHER PHENOMENA

Yu. V. Alferov

Data on actual (measured) precipitation are required for verification of numerical analysis and forecasting methods. However, precipitation amounts mea¬sured at weather stations do not often meet requirements for the times or periods of accumulation, Therefore, it is important to reduce measured precipitation to some standards. The paper describes a method of calculating short-period precipitation amounts from longer-period amounts using other data on precipitation measured at a station. Verification estimates of the proposed method are discussed.
