| Title | WRRCTR No. 78 Some Characteristics of Hawaiian High-Intensity Rainfall |
| Creator | Fullerton, Charles M. Wilson, S.K. |
| Subject | Rain and rainfall -- Hawaii. |
| Description | A computer monitored network of rapid response Raymond-Wilson rainfall intensity gauges has been established at the Cloud Physics Observatory (CPO), on the windward coast of the island of Hawaii, to record the passage of both warm and cold showers. These showers are characterized by high intensity rainfall (50 to 300 mm/hr) and an associated increase in atmospheric pressure, a change in wind velocity, and a reversal of the electric potential gradient. The showers often occur at night, during...
