Idaho Precipitation Map II


Map II also identifies the annual precipitation over Idaho. This isarithmic map should indicate regions of Idaho that receive high amounts of rainfall and others that receive little rainfall, and the variation within the state. Point data from weather stations were used to find the different precipitation amounts in various locations of Idaho. A Kriging interpolation was used to estimate the annual precipitation across all of Idaho. Map 1 and 2 show some variation, this is due to the different algorithms used to interpret the point data for all of Idaho.
