Abstract
Glover & Robinson (1953) have recently criticized the use of a transformation in calculating confidence limits of monthly rainfall, and have suggested that the technique is complicated and even misleading. They contend that the use of unadjusted monthly data leads to no serious discrepancies. If this were in fact so, there is no doubt that much time and effort could be saved. It is therefore desirable to compare the two techniques, and to set out against the recorded data the predictions obtained from them.Keywords
