Isohyet Map

Isohyet Map


In isohyetal maps, the spatial representation is of the amount of precipitation over a given area and time. Isohyetal maps use color as opposed to lines. The shading of areas, with labeled color bars, is accompanied by labeled isohyet sections as in the example below, which displays the percentage of precipitation in 1998 throughout the state of California.
