Description:Precipitation-frequency values for durations of 5, 15, and 60 minutes at return periods of 2 and 100 years are presented in map form for 37 states from North Dakota to Texas and eastward. Equations are given to derive 10- and 30-min values from the maps. Equations are also given to compute values for selected return periods between 2 and 100 years. The basic input data to the study are the maximum annual precipitation values for 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes at about 200 stations and the maximum annual 1-hr events at about 1900 stations with recording rain gages. Computer space-averaging techniques were used for interstation interpolation.
