Hi Tomer, this analysis uses Stage III and Stage IV grids, regridded to the PRISM domain. Area calcs can be tricky with grids but that's what I've been using to come up with the rankings. I'd be interested in other ways of looking at the concept of a "prolific TC rainfall day".
It is a bit deceptively tricky… especially with some of these TCs being much faster moving while some even storm totals were also amplified by PREs. I suppose the rankings are inherently subjective depending on how one chooses to define the QPE time windows.
