The team has installed a rain gauge in the village of Adi ha, which they hope to use in future years, but the team had no choice but to base their rainfall metrics on satellite data this year.

To gauge precipitation, they looked at tree ring widths in lower-elevation oaks, which grow faster in years with higher levels of rainfall.

The information of the rain-detecting radar is to be used for calculating the regional rainfall so as to improve the relevant calculation solely based on data from limited rain gauge stations.
