Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by obtaining and reviewing Liz C's R Script, then compare its output with the referenced precipitation-map examples and the MSC GeoMet, MSC AniMet, WeatherCan, and weather.gc.ca sources. Done means the project generates a precipitation map matching the agreed requirements; the current first, second, and third acceptance criteria need to be defined before implementation.
