## Abstract A model for the temporal distribution of rainfall is derived from measurements made in central Amazonian rainforest. A contrast is made with a rainfall distribution model which has been used in a stand‐alone comparison of land‐surface sub‐models of two General Circulation Models (GCMs).
## Abstract The description of the evaporation of rainfall intercepted by forests in terms of a regression of evaporation loss on incident rainfall is discussed and some of the assumptions implicit in that method are re‐examined. The two major factors which control the evaporation of intercepted ra
## Abstract To elucidate the factors involved in interception loss, we conducted experiments in which we measured environmental variables such as rainfall intensity, forest structure, and weather conditions. An artificial forest consisting of 24 vinyl trees was used to examine the influences of for
