Depth-duration-area value
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010471
A specific numerical value representing the maximum average precipitation depth over a given area for a particular storm duration. This value is derived from depth-area-duration analysis and is a key parameter in hydrological engineering. It is used to quantify extreme rainfall events for flood forecasting and infrastructure design.
