<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="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#434343;background:white">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 = LP * f(wspd, wdir), where LP is Liquid Precipitation or Rainfall. However, when I clicked
on the link to the actual paper cited, the Meteireann web site responded that "404: Page not found". Therefore, I still don't know the function that converts LP or rainfall to WDR.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>What is your definition for Wind-driven Rain? Practically all weather station reports, including official stations available in NOAA's ISD as well as unofficial "Personal Weather Stations" hosted on WeatherUnderground, contain information on liquid precipitation
(LP), wind speed, and wind direction. Can the WDR be calculated from these standard parameters, maybe as the LP * f(wspd, wdir) ?<o:p></o:p></p>
