Abstract

The cumulative frequency distribution of rainfall of different intensities during southwest monsoon is studied for twenty stations in India, The distribution is found to be exponential in all the cases.

 

The equation y = ae-bX (where y is the cumulative frequency of daily rainfall exceeding an amount X and a, b are constants) is very satisfactorily found to fit the data, The curve has been fitted to the observed data by the method of least squares, It has also been shown that the constants a and b can be found from the number of rainy days and the total seasonal rainfall.

 

The variations of the parameters a and b with rainfall and number of rainy days are discussed.
