Historical Rainfall

Caption

Using data from weather stations scattered throughout the U.S., climate researchers have created maps of the average annual temperature and rainfall totals at points approximately 800 meters apart over much of the United States. In this study, the team used these maps to calculate historical rainfall trends within the parks and over the U.S. as a whole.
