Abstract: An automated computer program isdeveloped for calculating areal average rainfall(AAR) value and its implementation is presentedfor the arid region representative country,Libya.The procedure is conceptually simple byconsideration of almost equilateral trianglesconnecting adjacent meteorological stations withthe assumption of linear rainfall change betweenstations. The applications of the methodologyhave been achieved for monthly, seasonal andannual rainfall amounts recorded at 29meteorological stations scattered over thenorthern part of Libya.It has been shown thatthe proposed methodology yields results that arecomparable with the commonly used AAR calculationmethods.
