The primary meteorological principle underlying the storm maximization procedure used in Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimation is moisture maximization. The PMP represents the greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration meteorologically possible over a given storm area at a particular geographical location at a certain time of year. The storm maximization procedure takes an observed historical storm and hypothetically enhances its rainfall potential to its physical limits. Moisture maximization specifically involves adjusting the observed rainfall of a storm to reflect the max....
