Sademäärältään

Sademäärältään is an Estonian language term that translates to "in terms of precipitation" or "by rainfall." It is used to describe or compare regions, periods, or conditions based on the amount of precipitation they receive. For instance, one might say that a certain region is "sademäärältään runsas," meaning it is abundant in terms of precipitation. Conversely, a dry area could be described as "sademäärältään vähäinen," indicating low precipitation levels.

The term is commonly employed in meteorology, climatology, and geography. It allows for precise comparisons between different locations or timeframes regarding their rainfall or snowfall amounts. When analyzing climate data, for example, scientists might rank countries or cities "sademäärältään" to understand their relative wetness or dryness. This metric is crucial for various applications, including agriculture, water resource management, and understanding ecological patterns.

In everyday conversation, "sademäärältään" might be used to explain why certain plants grow better in one area than another, or to justify the need for irrigation in a particular region. It provides a quantitative basis for discussing weather and climate phenomena related to water falling from the atmosphere. The focus is always on the volume or amount of precipitation as the primary characteristic for comparison.
