2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is point data?
Think about how we collect rain measurements.
Why is estimating areal precipitation important?
Consider how water flows during rainfall events.
What does areal mean precipitation account for?
Think about what information is needed for broader assessments.
True or False: Point data is adequate for watershed management.
Consider the scale of water management versus point data.
A watershed with a diverse terrain has three rain gauges recording 2, 3, and 7 inches of rain. How would you determine the overall mean precipitation, assuming equal area coverage?
Use the arithmetic mean method.
Discuss how you would approach estimating mean precipitation in an area where rain gauge data varies widely across a topographically diverse landscape.
Think about the importance of gauge location.
