The formula to calculate the Precipitation Rate is:
\[ \text{PRR} = \frac{\text{P}}{\text{T}} \]
Where:
Precipitation rate is the measure of the amount of precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) that falls over a specific period of time. It is typically expressed in inches per hour (in/hr) and is used in meteorology and hydrology to understand and predict weather patterns and water resource management.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Precipitation Rate:
\[ \text{PRR} = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5 \text{ in/hr} \]
This means that the precipitation rate for this scenario is 0.5 inches per hour.
