Note générale :	This memorandum describes a simple technique for estimating the average daily rainfall over sub - synoptic scale areas in the tropics and subtropics. The procedure is to determine the percentage of given area covered by each of three rain - proceducing cloud types (cumulonimbus, nimbostratus, and cumulus congestus)/ these percentages are multiplied by empirically established coefficients to obtain the rainfall contribution to be expected from eachcloud type. The method was tested in three countries.
