Rainfall Variability. The degree to which rainfall amounts vary across an area or through time is an important characteristic of the climate of an area. This subject area in meteorology/climatology is called "rainfall variability." There are two types (or components) of rainfall variability, areal and temporal.
It is calculated as follows: (standard deviation) / (expected value). The coefficient of variationrepresents the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, and it is a useful statistic for comparing the degree of variation from one data series to another, even if the means are drastically different from one another.
