The Rainfall Processing Program (RPP) is a program used to process and prepare rainfall data files before the rainfall data is used in other programs and software. It consists of four modules: Dup, Rev, Sum, and Tip. (1) The Dup module removes the duplicate entries from a rainfall data file. (2) The Rev module reverses the sorting order of a rainfall data file from ascending (A to Z) to descending (Z to A, or vise versa. (3)The Sum module converts an hourly rainfall data file into the cumulative tip format. (4)The Tip module converts a cumulative tip file into the hourly format, and calculates 24 to 240 hours running cumulative rainfall values. The RPP program is written in C++ programming language and runs under Windows operating system. The program also supports the American and European date formats (MM/DD/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY), and both the English and Metric systems (Inch and Millimeter).
