Statistical characteristics of spatial variability in rain fields at the scales below 5 km2 are discussed based on experimental data from five locations worldwide. The work is motivated by the practical needs of remote sensing applications using radar and satellite technologies, and by the scientific needs of rainfall modelling. Two types of rain-field characteristics are described: spatial correlations and conditional probabilities of occurrence. The accumulation intervals range from 5 min to 1 h. The analysed data samples were collected in Brazil, Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, and on Guam.
