Abstract.
An imbedded renewal process as a model of precipitation occurrence is fairly well known. Data permitting verification of assumptions determining such a model, for example independence and distribution of sojourn times, are available rather rarely, however, due to problems with definition of a precipitation. An operational definition of a precipitation is obtained by associating the precipitation occurrence with an opening sojourn time of a precipitation collector. This paper describes identification of the renewal model using such definition and applies the model to compare several different precipitation collectors.
