Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
