                         around Manaus (03\◦S, 60\◦W) is studied using hourly 
                         observations for the period 20062011. The rainfall at midforest 
                         stations is 20% greater than that at the city stations, especially 
                         in the afternoon hours. The frequency of rain events varies 
                         substantially with the hour of the day, but the mean intensity of 
                         rain events does not. Daytime [0618 local time (LT)] frequency is 
                         more than two times the nighttime (1905 LT) frequency. The hours 
                         with highest frequency are 1217 LT. The wet season November 
                         through May (NDJFMAM) frequency is approximately three times that 
                         of the dry season June through October (JJASO) frequency at all 
                         hours and at all stations. The diurnal frequency peak in the 
                         afternoon is more pronounced at the forest stations than at city 
                         stations. For smaller intensities of hourly rainfall the afternoon 
                         peaks are very pronounced while larger intensities of rainfall 
                         (15mmh\−1 and above) do not show preference for any hour of 
                         the day. Higher rainfall totals in the rainy season are due to 
                         more frequent rainfall rather than higher intensities of the rain 
                         events. Higher frequencies in the early morning hours close to the 
                         river are possibly due to the river breeze effect.",
