Distributed Hydrologic Modeling Using GIS
Award Winning Poster
In Spatial Variability of Rainfall by Jean Vieux, Radar Rainfall amounts appear as mountains when viewed in 3D.
Triangular facets are used to create a surface of rainfall estimated from NEXRAD radar, and the inset illustration shows the entire KTLX umbrella over Oklahoma for the same time period.
