Summer annual maxima precipitation in Switzerland

Description

Maximum daily rainfall amounts over the years 1962–2008 occuring during June–August at 79 sites in Switzerland.

Usage

data(rainfall)

Format

This data set contains two R objects: 'rain' and 'coord'. 'rain' is a 47 by 79 matrix giving the amount of rain in millimeters, each column correspond to one locations. 'coord' is a 79 by 3 matrix giving the longitude, latitude and the elevation for each station, all of them being in meters.
