| Description: |
The precipitation map shows the modeled precipitation in mm over the entire North-Atlantic
and European region. The precipitation areas are encircled by isohyets - lines with equal amounts of precipitation.
However, modeling precipitation is still not very reliable. If you compare the modeled results with observed values
you will realize that the model is nothing better than a first order approach. Yet this chart is of some use for forecasters.
Note: Based on international convention meteorologists use the metric system. 100 mm of precipitation is equivalent
to roughly 4 inches.
