Concepts
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
  • PRECIPITATION:  Deposition of water on earth from the atmosphere, in the liquid or solid state, resulting in different forms of precipitation - rain, snow and hail - arising from thermohydrodynamic processes that occur in cloud systems.
  • WEATHER STATION:  A facility where scientific studies are conductedand atmospheric phenomena are observed for the purpose of making weatherforecasts. The information gathered by weather stations and satellites iscollated by computers at central departments and mathematical.
