Timeseries: Obs4MIPs/TRMM3B42 Data
Concatenating
all Julys for 1999-2008, the 21:00 UTC mean = 1.39 mm/d and the
21:00 UTC standard deviation = 7.70 mm/d, still >> the mean value.
21:00 UTC
timepoints
This subset of timepoints includes nonzero values from each of the storms occurring in July 2008. The histogram of rainfall values at this time of day is highly skewed, more like Poisson than Gaussian:
