Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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?

💡 Hint: Use the arithmetic mean method.

Question 2

Discuss how you would approach estimating mean precipitation in an area where rain gauge data varies widely across a topographically diverse landscape.

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of gauge location.
