I'm actually starting to roll out Precipitation Intensity as a parameter. I think it will be useful in distinguishing the shorter but more intense rain events we are seeing with climate change. Before seeing this post, I worked with Noah at Kisters Support to come up with this simple transformation to change the unit of measure from Precip in (mm) to (mm/hr). I'm also totaling the precip per hour off the 02.Edited time series. This should work regardless if the rain gauge is tipping bucket giving 15 min totals or the more accurate accumulators.
