Abstract
Similarities and differences among 11 precipitation measures from 11 central U.S. sites are described. Sites are arrayed along transects that cross a longitudinal environment gradient. Nine derived (precipitation days, hours, events, duration, traces to precipitation hours, four intensity ratios) and two measured (precipitation amounts, trace occurrence) variables are used. Hourly values for 10 growing seasons comprise the data. Measures are compared under normal, wet, and dry conditions. Inclusion of trace occurrences on comparisons is noted. Normal condition median values decrease westward; significant similarities exist among stations for all variables; trace inclusion raises median precipitation days and event numbers at western stations. Under dry conditions, medians are lower for all variables but overall sample characteristics are similar to normal conditions; trace data inclusion decreases contrasts with normal conditions; trace data inclusion (exclusion) increase (decreases) twofold between wet a...
