Thread: rainfall

2 posts.

Hi all,

Has anyone worked up a table or equation relating global average
rainfall to hydrographics percentage and atmospheric pressure (maybe
even temp)? Average rainfall on Earth (1 atm, 71% H2O, 15C) is roughly 1
meter/yr. So if a world's surface is only 33% covered by water and the
atmo is only 70% as dense (but same temp), does base rainfall drop in half?

Interesting question that I don't know the answer to, but I'd really love
to see what you come up with:)
