Abstract: Total instantaneous water contents of several intense thunderstorms were calculated from smoothed representations drawn from quantitative radar observations; values typically ranged from 108?109 kg. Rain rates and accumulations were obtained from reflectivity measurements near the surface. The rainfall rates of the storms were about 105?106 kg sec?1 with total accumulations averaging 109?1010 kg. Dimensions and durations of the storms are also given.
