Abstract
The AURELHY method (Analysis Using RELieffor HYdrometeorology) takes into account the possible statistical relationships between the pluviometric (or thermometric) field to analyse and the regional topography. At any given point, assessment of rainfall is made by adding two terms, the first being the result of a linear regression with the elements of local topography, the second being obtained by interpolation by kriging of residuals.
