We are grateful to Dr Jones for his commentary (Jones, 1985) and the opportunity to reply. Dr Jones has drawn attention to apparent flaws in the methodology presented by Thompson (1984). However in the context for which the methodology was advocated he may not have carried out similar tests on the '

One approach in the stochastic modelling of rainfall is to derive a distribution function which has physically meaningful parameters. Such a distribution is derived from a Poisson process of rainfall occurrence with an independent exponentially distributed rainfall amount. The distribution appears t
## Abstract The effect of global warming (represented by general circulation model monthly rainfall predictions) on the daily rainfall distribution is investigated using a mixed Gamma distribution to estimate the change of rainfall quantiles. A mixed distribution is used to overcome the limitation
## Abstract The aim of this study is to model rainfall amounts on a daily basis by fitting a smooth curve to the mean rainfall __per__ rainy day. The rainfall amounts are described as gamma distributions with smoothing parameters. The smoothing technique used is the approach of the Fourier series.
## Abstract This paper investigates the effect of introducing spatially varying rainfall fields to a hydrological model simulating runoff and erosion. Pairs of model simulations were run using either spatially uniform (i.e. spatially averaged) or spatially varying rainfall fields on a 500‐m grid. T
## Abstract The knowledge of rainfall patterns is a key issue for regionalization in hydroclimatic studies. In mountainous areas, the sparsity of the measurement network and the complexity of relationships between rainfall and topography make an accurate and reliable spatialization of rainfall amou
