Dr. Tom Giambelluca helped create the website, which was developed to make rainfall maps, data, and related information easily accessible.
Features include: high resolution downloadable digital maps for mean monthly and annual rainfall and uncertainty for each station used in the analysis, as well as files with information on each rain gage station.
The website also allows users to view the patterns of mean monthly and annual rainfall and corresponding uncertainty, zoom in on areas of particular interest, navigate to specific locations with the help of a choice of different base maps, and click.
Giambelluca, Michael Nullet, and UH Manoa Meteorology Professor Tom Schroeder first published the Rainfall Atlas of Hawaii in 1986.
