Abstract
An approach to the estimation of statistical characteristics of total rainfall for short time periods is considered. The probabilistic characteristics of rains are obtained which are intended for the solution to a number of applied problems related to the calculation of peak runoff and washout of pollutants from catchment areas. Based on the results of pluviograph data processing for the Moscow region, the conclusion is made on a significant change in the temporal pattern of rainfall.
