| Abstract |
An exploratory study was made of the diurnal variations of precipitation occurrence and of surface wind speed from summaries of hourly observations during the decade 1951-1960 at airport stations in and neighboring North Carolina. Results are presented in the form of climatological probabilities of rainfall occurrence for each hourly period of the day in four months for nine sites in the region. Geographic patterns of these diurnal trends in hourly rain occurrence are given for the month of July in two categories of rainfall amounts during the hourly intervals, namely, measurable rain and quarter-inch rain. Significant geographic variations were found. Diurnal variations of surface wind speed are presented and analyzed for those four months at the coastal and piedmont stations. (Author) |
