“…Precipitation data from WE‐38 have been used in a number of different hydrologic and water quality studies. Early research included basic studies on the efficiency of the rain gauge network to measure rainfall [ Parmele , 1970] and predict base flow and stormflow runoff [ Parmele et al , 1972]. In addition, researchers have used precipitation data from WE‐38 to characterize the hydrology of convective thunderstorms [ Gburek et al , 1977] and extreme events [e.g., Troch et al , 1994], specifically those resulting from tropical storm remnants [ Engman et al , 1974].…”
