Abstract
This is the first of a three‐part series on the mathematical structure of rainfall models. Several important attempts at modeling rainfall are reviewed. Special attention is given to the mathematical structures that arise in the rainfall descriptions. A general overview of the three‐part series is given as preface to this part.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
