Precipitation Accumulation Differences between 2002 and 2003

Visualizations by Alex Kekesi Released on October 2, 2003

The East Coast droughts of 2002 and the high amounts of rainfall in 2003 have yielded large differences in our accumulated precipitation amounts between those two years.

This image shows the differences in rainfall accumulation across the United States between 2002 and 2003. Areas of blue indicate regions with high amounts of rainfall, and areas of red indicate areas with lower amounts of rainfall.
