Description:

A simple method for estimating the rain volume over an area (for convective rains) was investigated. The method does not require precipitation rates or amounts obtained from gages or from radar data but considers only the rain events per�- The method requires only area coverage data, which could be obtained from gage or (preferably) radar data. The key element in the method is the existence of a good correlation between rainfall areas and rain volumes.
