The International Precipitation Conference (IPC) started in 1986 (IPC1 in Caracas, Venezuela as a Chapman Conference) dedicated to bringing together hydrologists, atmospheric scientists and mathematicians to understand the space- time structure of rainfall at multiple scales for the purpose of modeling, downscaling regional and climate models and incorporating stochastic parameterizations into numerical weather prediction models. Since then, 11 IPCs followed, organized every 2-3 years around the world, attracting a large community of hydrologists, physical/atmospheric scientists, climate scientists, and mathematicians/statisticians and advancing precipitation research and applications.
