  "term": "Depth-area-duration curves",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A set of graphical plots that show the relationship between precipitation depth, storm area, and storm duration. Each curve typically represents a specific storm duration, plotting the decreasing average rainfall depth as the catchment area increases. These curves are developed from the analysis of major historical storms over a region and are used to estimate the maximum precipitation for a given duration over a specified basin size.",
