| Abstract |
From a previous phase of research fifty years of daily precipitation values were available on tape for a network of 20 stations in the N.Y. metropolitan area. The earlier study showed that under certain wind conditions, precipitation augmentation was discerned downwind of the urban complex. However, the present study indicates that the urban area does not have any effect on daily precipitation patterns. Analyses were also made of probabilities of wet and dry periods of different lengths using the Markov chain probability model. The analysis of the average year at Hightstown gives an insight into the processes which govern precipitation patterns in this area. |
