Localized rain events have been found to follow power-law size and duration
distributions over several decades, suggesting parallels between precipitation
and seismic activity [O. Peters et al., PRL 88, 018701 (2002)]. Similar power
laws are generated by treating rain as a passive tracer undergoing advection in
a velocity field generated by a two-dimensional system of point vortices.
