    This document discusses precipitation and rainfall characteristics. It begins by explaining the formation of precipitation through the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It then describes the different types of precipitation like rain, snow, sleet, hail, freezing rain, and drizzle. The document also discusses rainfall characteristics such as amount, intensity, duration, frequency, and seasonal distribution.

    WHAT IS
    PRECIPITATION
    Any liquid or frozen water that forms in atmosphere and
    falls back to the earth. I comes in many forms, like rains,
    sleet, and snow.

    DIFFERENT TYPES
    OF PRECIPITATION
    DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRECIPITATION

    RAIN SNOW SLEET HAIL

    FREEZING RAIN Drizzle


    RAIN
    It is a type of precipitation that
    falls as water droplets over the
    ground.

    Classification
    • Light rainfall 
    • Moderate rainfall 
    • Heavy rainfall
    SNOW
    Snow precipitation is when the clouds
    release snow crystals to the ground.

    Snowfall is a kind of precipitation


    common in colder and polar regions.
    SLEET
    It forms when the raindrops pass
    through the air at subfreezing
    temperatures. 
    HAIL
    Precipitation in the form of small balls
    or other pieces of ice falling separately
    or frozen together in irregular lumps
    FREEZING
    RAIN
    Freezing rain happens when rain falls
    during below freezing
    conditions/temperatures. This normally
    results in the solidification of rain
    droplets.
    DRIZZLE
    Drizzle is a light precipitation
    consisting of liquid water drops smaller
    than those of rain. It is stronger than
    mist but less than a shower.

    AMOUNT INTENSITY DURATION

    FREQUENCY SEASONAL
    DISTRIBUTION
    RAINFALL
    Rainfall is a measurement of how much water
    falls as rain in a certain period of time.

    Rainfall is measured by collecting rain water


    across different areas and times, as the amounts
    may differ between locations and times.
    AMOUNT
    Rainfall amount is described as the depth of water
    reaching the ground, typically in inches or
    millimeters.
    INTENSITY
    Rainfall intensity is defined as the ratio of the total
    amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given
    period to the duration of the period It is expressed in
    depth units per unit time, usually as mm per hour
    (mm/h).
    DURATION
    The duration refers to the length of time rainfall occurs. A
    high intensity rainfall for a short duration may affect
    tender seedlings, but it will not likely have much effect on
    soil erosion and runoff. Rainfall of longer duration can
    significantly affect infiltration, runoff, and soil erosion
    processes.
    FREQUENCY
    Rainfall Frequency means the probability of a rainfall
    event of defined characteristics occurring in any given
    year. Information on rainfall frequency is published by
    the National Weather Service. For the purpose of storm
    drainage design.
    SEASONAL
    DISTRIBUTION
    Seasonal Distribution it means that the tendency for a
    place to have more rainfall in certain months or
    seasons than in others.
