Distribution of the precipitation in Colombia

Description

The primary target looks for to determine the distribution of the rain for the national territory using technical geostatistical, for such effect was used the rain data averages multi annual, available in 1027 sites (municipal heads of Colombia, and sites of special interest source IDEAM 1982 -1998. The rain data were analyzed through basic statistical processes like location measures and variability, geostatistical like semi-variogram, and directional influence was analyzed (anisotropy), that the mountainous system of the Andes and the zone of Convergence inter tropical corroborate the influence of the relief through (ZCIT) where converge trade winds as a result of the location of Colombia in the equatorial zone, the result corresponds to a continuous surface that shows to the distribution of the rain in Colombia map 2, generated by means of the interpolation process using the Kriging method, this surface will serve like source of intelligence in thematic general space analyses of level in manifold as agrologic for the advantage of the resource water and ground, also to make analyses correlated with variable like temperature, humidity, solar radiation, potential and real evapo-transpiration
