Description: |
The monthly precipitation (mm) for all available weather stations in the USVI was downloaded from NOAA National Climate Data Center (NCDC). The maximum monthly precipitation for each weather station was estimated from all rainfall records between 1/1/1990 and 1/1/2001. Using the X,Y position of the station, a raster files was created, with the maximum month precipitation (mm) for Saint John, Saint Thomas and Saint Croix was estimated by spatial interpolation in ArcGIS, using a regularized spline interpolation method with a weight of 0.1, using the 6 nearest points.
