Mapping of precipitation in Iceland using numerical simulations and statistical modeling

Precipitation in Iceland during a period of 10 years is simulated with the PSU/NCAR MM5 model. The results are compared with precipitation estimated by a statistical model based on observations and a number of topographic and geographic predictors. The simulated precipitation pattern agrees with the...
