The significance of spatial distribution of rainfall and its effects on spatial correlation functions are reviewed. A number of statistical terms and properties are explained in depth with reference to the theory of variograms originally adopted in geostatistics. This is followed by a detailed analysis of theoretical variogram models, effects of meteorological, orographic, and space-time aggregation scales and a discussion on network design, areal mean calculations and storm velocities. Empirical variogram and validation techniques are then examined. Some applications to two different parts of Lombardia (the mountainous Valtellina catchment and a large part of the flat area of the region) in northern Italy are given with a discussion of the results.In the Appendix, the technique of kriging is explained with reference to the estimation of the spatial distribution of the random rainfall field.
