Abstract
Shower‐type rainfall data collected on several Illinois raingage networks, ranging in area from 19 ac to 400 sq mi, have been used to determine the areal representativeness of point rainfall measurements. Point rainfall was measured at the center of each area, and empirical relations for average and standard errors were developed for storm, weekly, and monthly periods. In addition, storm data for areas of 10 to 100 sq mi were used to obtain empirical relations between point and areal mean rainfall, when the point rainfall is measured at a gage displaced from the areal center by various distances. The results are considered representative of the Midwest and of other areas having similar climate and topography.
