Plot histograms of storm duration and depth. Use a bin size of 0.25 hr for storm duration and 0.25 mm for storm depth. Describe how storm intensity varies with duration. Describe how storm depth varies with duration. Calculate the mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variability for storm depth.
Lets evaluate the spatial distribution of rainfall in the Boulder Creek basin.
You might expect precipitation amount to increase with elevation in a mountain area. How well does precipitation amount track changes in elevation. Assume that the area of the Boulder Creek basin is 100 km2.
