By careful consideration of the observed winds and with the aid of various empirical and dynamics relationships, a steady-state 3-dimensional wind flow is deduced over northern California for a 24-hour stormy period. The production (or evaporation) of precipitation elements is estimated for all parts of the flow, the surviving elements are followed down to the surface, and the resulting precipitation with the observed.

The underlying concept of the paper is that the amount of precipitation required for the near-normal operation of the established economy of an area during some stated period is dependent on the average climate of the area and on the prevailing meteorological conditions both during and preceding the month or period in question. A method for computing this required precipitation is demonstrated.
