An analysis of the Penner-Harley QPF technique along the B.C. coast / by Stephen Nikleva.: En57-56/644-1967E-PDF

"The Penner-Harley method is employed to obtain QPF's from actual data at Annette and Tatoosh Island. The QPF' s are calculated including and excluding an orographic term. Correlation coefficients are computed between observed and calculated precipitation rates at the radiosonde stations and also at adjoining stations. The results illustrate some of the difficulties encountered in obtaining accurate forecasts in this area. An analysis of the technique provides valuable information concerning the probability of occurrence or non-occurrence of precipitation"--Abstract.
