Climate Research, 1994•JSTORIssues in the accuracy of preparing and using isoline maps of mean precipitation are
reconsidered. A simulation is created to illustrate the concepts of discontinuous distribution
and the effects of sampling on the resulting maps. The actual rainfall field is more closely
represented as the number of rainfall events considered and the grid density increase. Data
from Israel are used to provide concrete illustrations. A method of interpolating to a fine grid
is proposed, using a regression model of station precipitation related to geographical …

The actual rainfall field is more closely represented as the number of rainfall events considered and the grid density increase. Data from Israel are used to provide concrete illustrations. A method of interpolating to a fine grid is proposed, using a regression model of station precipitation related to geographical variables of latitude, longitude, and elevation.
