Question

5. On August 12, 2016, 5.72 inches of rain fell in 5 hours at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Estimate the recurrence interval of this storm.

Answer 1

recurrence interval is 1.114 inches / hr

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

rain fall = 5.72 inches

time = 5 hours

to find out

recurrence interval

solution

we will apply here formula for recurrence interval of storm that is express as

recurrence interval =
`(R)/(t)` ...........................1

here R is rainfall and t is time period

so put here value we get

recurrence interval =
`(5.72)/(5)`

recurrence interval = 1.114 inches / hr

so recurrence interval is 1.114 inches / hr
