Abstract
A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to study factors that affect the mean annual rainfall in Israel. The factors investigated were latitude, elevation, and easterly distance from the sea. Separate equations, relating the 30-year mean rainfall to these factors were derived for the northern and southern parts of the country. The regression equations reduced most of the variance of the rainfall data for the 211 rain-gaging stations included in the study.Keywords
