Verbal description of what the code does:

generation of stochastic time series of daily precipitation for the interior of Israel

Type (function, class, unit, form, ...):

application with 2 classes

Flow chart (for complex code):

...

Expected input (type and range of values, units):

number of years, either mean annual precipitation [90, 900] mm or 6 parameters describing seasonal probability of rainy days and rain amount on rainy days, optionally: optionally a factor [-0.3, 0.3] changing the probability of rain while maintaining the mean annual amount

Output (type and range of values, units):

a tab separated table with three columns: year, day of year (day 1 = August 1), rain amount (mm)

Requirements and environment (libraries, headers, QT, Borland Builder):

random number generator r250 (included), STL
