Method synopsis

Method for computing areal precipitation amounts from point measurements using polygon weighting to account for spatial distribution of rainfall across watersheds.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Hydrologic and Biotic Effects of Grazing vs. Non-Grazing near Grand Junction, Colorado (1970), Journal of Range Management. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Install precipitation monitoring
   Recording rain gauge recorders were established in each pair of watersheds to measure areal distribution of rainfall. Precipitation amounts were computed using the Thiessen Polygon method.
   Quantities: Recording gauges for each watershed pairDuration: Continuous recording from 1956-1966Conditions: All weather conditions
   Equipment: recording rain gauges, Thiessen Polygon computation method

Typical Equipment

• recording rain gauges

Output Measurements

• areal precipitation amounts
