Evaluation of a precipitation map ( Switzerland) using a smoothed elevation-precipitation relationship and optimal estimates ( Kriging).

Abstract

Using 45 rain gauges, located in the center of French-speaking Switzerland, we evaluate an annual mean precipitation map for the yr 1974, 1975 and 1976. This estimate is based mainly on the anomaly method. The anomaly map was estimated using universal kriging. - from Authors Service Hydrologique National, Berne, Switzerland.
