The Storm Precipitation Analysis System (SPAS) is a state-of-the-science hydrometeorological tool used to characterize the magnitude, temporal, and spatial details of precipitation events. Over the past ten years, SPAS have been proven t0 be the most reliable and accurate tool available to analyze precipitation events. The results have been used and accepted in all PMP studies since 2002, in forensic cases in courts of law, and has been peer reviewed in HyrdoReview (Parzybok and Tomlinson 2006). SPAS has been used to analyze over 250 extreme precipitation events (see map below) for PMP derivation, runoff model calibration/validation, and storm reconstructions for legal cases.
