    <p>Luis,</p>
    <p>Thanks for the tip.  I went to the link, which by the way is for
      the Irish Meteorological Service,  and read that it said, "<span style="color:rgb(67,67,67);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline!important;float:none">The amount of rain received by a wall
        correlates fairly well with the product of rainfall and the
        component of the wind speed normal to the wall. This led Lacy
        and Shellard to propose the product of the mean annual rainfall
        and the mean annual wind speed as a driving rain index which is
        proportional to the total rainfall driven in one year on to a
        vertical surface always facing the wind",  which is functionally
        quite close to what I was envisioning, i.e., WDR = </span><span style="color:rgb(67,67,67);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline!important;float:none">LP * f(wspd, wdir),  where LP is

        link to the actual paper cited,  the Meteireann web site
        responded that  "404: Page not found".  Therefore, I still don't
