Abstract
The value of weather generators for down-scaling the output of general circulation models for regional impact assessments is limited by the assumption of stationary-rainfall-circulation-pattern relationships. T his note assesses the potential of incorporating weather front data in to existing stochastic precipitation models to describe intraweather p attern rainfall variability.
