Describing the interannual variability of precipitation with the derived distribution approach: effects of record length and resolution

Interannual variability of precipitation is traditionally described by fitting a probability model to yearly precipitation totals. There are three potential problems with this approach: a long record (at least 25–30 years) is required in order to fit the model, years with missing rainfall data c...
