Time distribution relations have been developed for heavy storms on areas ranging up to 40C square miles and presented in probability terms to provide quantitative information on interstorm variability and to provide average and extreme relations for various applications of the findings. It was found that the relations could be represented best by relating % of storm rainfall to % of total storm time and grouping the data according to the quartile in which rainfall was heaviest. The individual effects of mean rainfall, storm duration, and other storm factors were small and erratic in behavior when the foregoing analytical technique was used. Basin area had a small but consistent effect upon the time distribution. The derived relations are applicable to the Midwest and other areas of similar climate and topography. They can be used in conjunction with published information on spatial distributions and other storm parameters to construct storm models for hydrologic applications.
