State whether the following is true or false.
Later rain in an event is more likely to reach the ground than the first rain.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Earlier rain moistens the sub-cloud layer and reduces further evaporation. This is why the onset of surface rainfall can lag the onset of precipitation aloft considerably. Radar sees the rain long before any gauge records it.
