Fig. 4. Driving rain (in mm/yr) vs. wind direction for the period 1974–2003 for (a) Bergen, (b) Trondheim, (c) Oslo and (d) Tromsø.<br />
wind direction yielded a measure of the directional<br />
driving rain amount at each station. This methodology<br />
is almost identical to that used byLacyin his pioneering<br />
articles on driving rain in the 1960s [6,7]. He used the<br />
product of total annual precipitation and average wind<br />
speed (not average wind speed during rainfall, which
