*Rainfall frequency curves for the 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 year 24-hour rainfall events for Minnesota. The source of the data is Technical Paper 40 ([http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hdsc/PF_documents/TechnicalPaper_No40.pdf National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration])
 
*Rainfall frequency and volume percentiles as a function of precipitation depth for ten locations in Minnesota. Rainfall frequency specifies the number of 24-hour rain events, expressed as a percent of all events, that are less than a certain depth. Volume represents the total annual volume of rain that is associated with a particular rain depth. For example, 88 percent of rain events in Cloquet are 1 inch or less, while rain events of one inch or less account for 60 percent of the annual volume.

Revision as of 13:32, 17 December 2015

Information: Precipitation frequency information (Atlas 14) has been updated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We recommend using Atlas 14.

NOAA's Atlas 14, Volume 8 precipitation frequency information can be found on NOAA's precipitation frequency data server. Rainfall frequency maps from Technical Paper 40 have been moved to this page.
