Precipitation given W-Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Rainfall Depth = (W-Index*Rainfall Duration)+Runoff Depth
P_cm = (W*t_r)+R
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Rainfall Depth - (Measured in Millimeter) - Rainfall Depth refers to the vertical height of rainwater accumulated over a surface during a specific period, typically measured in millimeters (mm) or inches.
W-Index - (Measured in Meter per Second) - W-Index refers to the uniform rate of infiltration during a rainstorm after initial infiltration capacity has decreased, typically measured in cm/h.
Rainfall Duration - (Measured in Second) - Rainfall duration refers to the length of time over which a rainfall event occurs, typically measured in hours or minutes, affecting runoff and infiltration.
Runoff Depth - (Measured in Millimeter) - Runoff Depth refers to the vertical height of water from precipitation or irrigation that flows over land surfaces into water bodies, typically measured in centimeters (cm).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

W-Index: 1.714 Centimeter per Hour --> 4.76111111111111E-06 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Rainfall Duration: 3.5 Hour --> 12600 Second (Check conversion here)
Runoff Depth: 6 Centimeter --> 60 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_cm = (W*t_r)+R --> (4.76111111111111E-06*12600)+60

Evaluating ... ...

P_cm = 60.05999

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.06005999 Meter -->6.005999 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.005999 Centimeter <-- Rainfall Depth

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Precipitation ?

When we talk about precipitation, we are talking about water that is falling out of the sky, this could be rain, drizzle, snow, sleet, hail or something rarer!

How to Calculate Precipitation given W-Index?

Precipitation given W-Index calculator uses Rainfall Depth = (W-Index*Rainfall Duration)+Runoff Depth to calculate the Rainfall Depth, The Precipitation given W-Index is defined as any liquid or frozen water that forms in atmosphere and falls back to Earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow. Rainfall Depth is denoted by P_cm symbol.

How to calculate Precipitation given W-Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Precipitation given W-Index, enter W-Index (W), Rainfall Duration (t_r) & Runoff Depth (R) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Precipitation given W-Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 600.5999 = (4.76111111111111E-06*12600)+0.06.

FAQ

What is Precipitation given W-Index?

The Precipitation given W-Index is defined as any liquid or frozen water that forms in atmosphere and falls back to Earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow and is represented as P_cm = (W*t_r)+R or Rainfall Depth = (W-Index*Rainfall Duration)+Runoff Depth. W-Index refers to the uniform rate of infiltration during a rainstorm after initial infiltration capacity has decreased, typically measured in cm/h, Rainfall duration refers to the length of time over which a rainfall event occurs, typically measured in hours or minutes, affecting runoff and infiltration & Runoff Depth refers to the vertical height of water from precipitation or irrigation that flows over land surfaces into water bodies, typically measured in centimeters (cm).

How to calculate Precipitation given W-Index?
