| Abstract: | The Carolina Sandhills are known to have an area of maximum precipitation on its western boundary during the summer mainly
due to differences in soil types. Statistical analysis was performed on summer precipitation data from automated weather stations
in the Carolinas, along the Sandhills for the years 2001 to 2006. Statistically significant difference was observed between
the day and night precipitation amounts. A case study also revealed the diurnal pattern of convective precipitation. |
