Abstract
VIMHEX is an intensive program of tropical meteorological and hydrological observations taken in northeast Venezuela during the summer of 1969 to support a study of tropical atmospheric physics and the resulting effects of rainfall. The objectives of the program are to express the meso-scale weather structure in terms of the synoptic-scale envelope and to formulate the ground response to the rainfall produced by tropical weather disturbances over relatively flat tropical topography. The Volume I Hydrology Report lists all the precipitation data collected during the summer of 1969 in the study area of northeast Venezuela. Most of the precipitation data is in the form of hourly rainfall. In addition, weekly and other longer period isohyetal maps are presented for the study area. The weekly and monthly average precipitations over the drainage basins have been determined. For the summer months of July, August, and September an average of 4.8 mm of precipitation per day fell on the drainage basins. In subsequent reports, these data will be related to the hydrology and stream response of the area.
