The station weight is the product of two terms. 1) the fraction of area the station represents in the total area of interest. So, for example, a station that is located near to another station will have less influence on the final total, while a station that is far from any other station will have more influence. 2) The average annual precipitation at that station, so that a wet station contributes more to the final index that does a dry station. The final weight is the product of these two terms, normalized so that the sum of all the weights adds up to 100%.

Stations are selected based on two criteria. 1) They must have a relatively long (50 year or more) record with few interruptions. 2) They must be updated nearly every day by the California Nevada River Forecast Center.
