Abstract
The rainfall frequency atlases and technical papers published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) serve as de-facto national standards for rainfall intensity at specified frequencies and durations in the United States. This paper reports on progress in updating these estimates since the EWRI World Environmental and Water Resources Congress of 2006. It provides an overview of the new estimates and the methods used in their preparation as well as selected statistics. Since the 2006 Congress, NOAA has published revisions for NOAA Atlas 14 Volumes 1 through 3 covering the semiarid southwest U.S. and the Ohio River basin and surrounding states, and Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
