Abstract
The Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) provided a opportunity to collect a vast array of meteorological and oceanic data in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. A goal of TOGA COARE was to determine the freshwater flux between the atmosphere and ocean. This freshwater flux in the tropics through the formation of rainfall and subsequent release of latent heat is important component of the global atmospheric circulation. To accurately determine the net effect of rainfall in the tropical environment, the statistical properties of rainfall must be determined.
