The highly anticipated Rainfall Atlas of Hawai`i is now available online. The atlas, assembled by University of Hawai`i geography professor Tom Giambelluca and colleagues, contains maps that show rainfall patterns in the major Hawaiian islands, based on records over three decades, from 1978 to 2007. Check it out at http://rainfall.geography.hawaii.edu

The atlas was a joint project of the state Commission on Water Resource Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
