Universality and Scale Invariance in Hourly Rainfall
Pankaj Jain, Suman Jain, Gauher Shaheen
Abstract
We show that the hourly rainfall rate distribution can be described by a simple power law to a good approximation. We show that the exponent of the distribution in tropics is universal and is equal to 1.13 0.11. At higher latitudes the exponent increases and is found to lie in the range 1.3-1.6.
