Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) |
The Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is the greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration meteorologically possible over a given size storm area at a particular location at a particular time of the year, with no allowance made for long-term climatic trends (World Meteorological Organisation, 1986). It is the primary input to Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) estimation. |
