A simple spatial-temporal model of rainfall

A spatial-temporal model of rainfall is studied in which storms arrive in a Poisson process in space and time, each storm consisting of a circular region of rain which moves with random velocity for a random time before disappearing. Rain is deposited by the cell at constant random intensity. Some of the main properties of this process are studied analytically.
