...Definition and Philosophy The definition of PMP was changed in 1982 (Hansen et al., 1988) to read, "theoretically, the greatest depth of precipitation...particular geographical location at a certain time of the year." This change to the definition used previously (American Meteorological Society, 1959), and...
