Description:Annual maximum precipitation events for durations of N = 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours are identified. The largest precipitation amounts for durations of M = 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours (H :/: N) concurrent with the N-hr event are then selected. The events are stratified according to magnitude (quartiles) and relations between the N-hr and H-hr event are studied by forming a ratio of shorter to longer duration precipitation totals. Accumulated probabilities of this ratio are suggested as a tool to estimate precipitation increments necessary in the synthesis of precipitation mass curves. By analyzing the relative timing of the shorter duration event within the longer duration event, a characteristic time distribution can be developed.
