The Hydrometeorology Associates, Probable Maximum Precipitation (511 words) |
 | Hydrometeorology: A "branch of meteorology that deals with problems involving the hydrologic cycle, the water budget, and the rainfall statistics of storms. |
| The boundaries of hydrometeorology are not clear-cut, and the problems of the hydrometeorologist overlap with those of the climatologist, the hydrologist, the cloud physicist, and the weather forecaster. |
| Other concerns of hydrometeorologists include the determination of rainfall probabilities, the space and time distribution of rainfall and evaporation, the recurrence interval of major storms, snow melt and runoff, and probable wind tides and waves in reservoirs. |
