Question 1

What is the primary purpose of the moisture maximization approach?

  • To reflect historical data
  • To estimate future precipitation
  • To determine storm paths

💡 Hint: Consider what the approach is scaling up.

Question 2

True or False: The transposition technique assumes all storms behave the same across different regions.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the variability of storms.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have data showing a storm with 3 inches of rainfall, a maximum precipitable water of 6 inches, and a storm precipitable water during that event of 4 inches. Calculate the PMP using this information.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the moisture maximization formula.

Question 2

Critically examine the implications of climate change on the transposition technique when predicting PMP for a region that is experiencing new weather patterns.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how changing conditions may affect storm characteristics.
