Rain II

Now we can begin to get closer to the meat of climate.

I begin with the base precipitation value at the coasts: \[P_h = p_0 \cdot \left(\exp\left(\frac{-\left(\ell - s\right)^2}{\sigma^2}\right) + \\ \frac{1}{2} \cdot \exp\left(\frac{-\left(\ell - 45 s\right)^2}{\sigma^2}\right) + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \exp\left(\frac{-\left(\ell + 45 - s\right)^2}{\sigma^2}\right)\right) \frac{(90 - \ell)(90 + \ell)}{90^2}\], where $p_0$ is the max precipitation value (127 mm/mo), $\ell$ is the latitude, $s$ is a seasonal parameter (15 in summer, -15 in winter), and $\sigma=19.5$.

Wet vs dry coasts (summer)

Throw in a box blur (n=3, radius=2) and baby, you got a stew goin'.

January

July

So far I like these results more than the first time around. Onward!
