MAXIMUM STATIONPRECIPITATION FOR 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, AND 24 HOURS

INTRODUCTION

This report, which is one of a planned series cover­ing the entire United States, was prompted by the long-standing and widespread interest in maximum observed precipitation amounts for durations of 24 hours and under. At least two summaries of this type of data :i1ave already been preparedl. Neither summary involved more than a couple of hundred stations throughout the United States, and no attempt was made to determine the month-to­month variation of the maximum.values .. Eventually, the records for some 3000 recording gages in the United States will have been examined for maximum amounts. The survey for the eastern half of the country is being conductedby the Hyd:r:ometeorb­logical Section in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers and that for the western half by the Cooperative Studies Section in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation. Sources of data are (1) Hydrologic Bulletin, (2) Climatological Data, (3) WB Form 1009, Cooperative Observers Meteoro­logical Record, (4) WB Form 1017, triple-reg:lster sheet, and (5) WB Form 1030, Monthly Climato­logical Summary.

All precipitation amounts presented in the tabula­tions are in inches.

The station names and locations shown on the index map (p. 3) are those listed in Climatological Data for December 1949. Some stations have operated under two or more names and/or at several local sites during the period of record. Any important change in location usually calls for a new station name so that records for the two site.s are auto­matically tabulated separately.

The p~riod of record, except at Weather Bureau first-order stations, is limited to the 10 years since the hydrologic network of weighing gages was inaugurated about 1940. In the case of Weather Bureau first-order stations, tipping-bucket gage records were surveyed for the entire period of

record prior to 1950. For comparative purposes, two sets of maxima were obtained from these long records, one for the period 1940-1949 and the.other for the period from the installation of the tipping­bucket gage through 1949. Records for stations in operation less than 5 years were not used unless the stations were active through 1949, in which case their maxima are listed to facilitate future surveys of subsequent data. If the period of record was not continuous and any single interruption was less than one year, the notation "with break (s)'' is inserted after the years denoting the period of record. Interruptions of one year or longer are shown by separate listing of the years, e.g., 1940-1942, 1943-1949, indicating that a break of 12 months or longer occurred in 1~42-1943.

Many recording-gage stations are also equipped with nonrecording gages. Maxima from non­recording gages were used whenever they exceeded those of the recording gages and are identified in the tables by the letter ''N' '. Such maxima appear quite frequently in the 24-hour column but only occasionally in the 6-and 12-hour columns since the catch is measured at 24-hour intervals for most nonrecording gages and at 6 or 12-hour intervals for only a few.

The time intervals· used in most of the survey and tabulations begin on the hour. This practice yields lower values than would be obtained by allowing the interval to begin any time within an hour, but the extra work involved in obtaining the true values would greatly increase the cost of the project. It is possible that when the survey for the entire United States has been completed an attempt will be made to determine the relation between true maxima and those for the standard clock intervals at several scattered stations. A satisfactory correlation would provide a procedure for adjusting the tabulat­ed amounts to values more nearly representing the true maxima. In the case of some Weather Bureau first-order stations, the maxima for 1, 2, arid 24-hour durations are true maxima, i.e., the interval is actually for the period of maximum pre­cipitation and does not necessarily begin on the hour. True maxima are indicated by the letter "T" in the tabulations.

The dates shown in the tabulations refer to the

beginnings of the periods of maximum precipitation. Hence, the period of maximum precipitation may actually extend into the day following the given date.

Estimates of maximum amounts, indicated by the letter "E" in the tabulations, were required when­ever either or both of the following conditions prevailed:

l. Recording gages were not .functioning be­cause of mechanical or electrical failure or because the precipitation was in the form of snow (tipping­bucket gages cannot measure ·snowfall rates). In such cases, the precipitation was assumed to have been evenly distributed throughout the period and estimates were obtained by prorating the accumula­tion. For example, in one case an amount of 5.00 inches was accumulated through a period of 54 hours. It developed that 24/54 of this amount, or 2.22 inches, was higher than any other amount for 24 hours, and this was used as the maximum.

2. Stick measurements sometimes yielded maxima for 6, 12, or 24-hour durations indicating that maxima for shorter durations were too low. For example, a 3-hour observed maximum might

3

be less than half the 6-hour maximum. In such cases, a value of one-half the maximum for the next longer duration was used as an estimate, except that two-thirds of the 3-hour maximum was the estimate for the 2-hour duration. In all but very few cases, this estimated amount is, of course, lower than the true maximum, since precipitation rarely falls at an even rate for other than very short periods.

Since this survey was confined to the period cover­ed by recording gages, the 24-hour maximum amounts listed may be exceeded by 24-hour maxima published in reports2 of other surveys supplement­ing the recording-gage data with antecedent non­recording-gage records. Although it would have been an easy matter to use these higher maxima, it was believed preferable to list maxima for all durations for the same period of record.

2. The Weather Bureau's Hydrometeorological Section is now preparing for publication the results of a recently completed survey of maximum 24-hour point precipitation at all stations in the United States for the entire period of record.
