Spatial Variations in the Average Rainfall-Altitude Relationship in Great Britain: An Approach using Geographically Weighted Regression

The relationship between annual rainfall totals and gauge elevation over Great Britain is re-examined using the recently developed technique of geographically weighted regression (GWR). This enables the spatial drift of regression parameters to be identified, estimated and mapped. It is shown that t...
