Abstract
Two measures of rainfall intensity distribution, called RIP (rainfall intensity percentage) and WMRIP (weighted mean rainfall intensity percentage), were described in this study. RIP and WMRIP values for Ben Hur Research Farm, Baton Rouge, Louisiana from 1981 through 1988 were calculated. Daily kinetic energy (KE) of 46 daily rainfall events in 1987 was calculated from RIP. The KE calculated from RIP values of 46 events was not significantly different from KE calculated by the standard breakpoint method. Based on WMRIP values, the rainfall intensity distribution was classified into low-, medium-, and high-intensity periods.
