Rainfall energy in eastern Australia - Intensity kinetic energy relationships for Canberra, ACT

Abstract

Rainfall kinetic energy values measured with a Joss-Waldvogel rainfall distrometer near Canberra are reported and compared with other data obtained in Australia using the same measurement technique. Intensity-energy relationships for Canberra are similar to those previously obtained at Gunnedah, N.S.W. and should apply over a wide area of south-eastern Australia.
