Abstract

AbstractDaily rainfall data for 72 sites in tropical north Queensland have been analysed to yield indices of rainfall activity associated with ten identified surface circulation types which occur in the summer wet season (November to March). The influence on rainfall distribution of local topography and exposure to moist air flows emerges as an important determinant, so that the locations of larger scale rain‐producing systems relative to the area, and the direction of air flow, emerge as prime controls on rainfall presence and amount.
