## Abstract Three tilted raingauges are symmetrically disposed round a vertical axis, with their collecting openings facing outward at an angle of 45ยฐ to the horizontal. From the ratios of the catches the mean direction of travel of a rainstorm can be estimated, and also the ratio of horizontal to

## Abstract In 1987, Neelin and Held showed how, in the tropics, surface heat fluxes and infrared radiation control atmospheric convergence, and hence rainfall, by means of their joint effect on the supply of moist static energy to the troposphere. They also showed that for a given rate of supply o
Geographical regions of covariability in hourly precipitation over the island of Puerto Rico are exposed using factor analysis. It is argued that the data are consistent with a common factor model when an orthgonal rotation is applied to the factor loading mamx. The results suggest that Puerto Rico
## Abstract Secular changes are demonstrated by residual mass curves. It is shown that tropical rainfall decreased abruptly at the end of the 19th century. This was due largely to a contraction of the rainy belt and a shortening of the wet seasons. In the SE. Asian monsoon region the annual rainfal
