The aim of this thesis is to employ meso-level analysis in order to make a macro-level estimation. Meso-level analysis is used to generate a reasonable network of station sites, and this network is compared to the existing network of stations. By comparing networks of varying number to the existing network, generalizations about the sufficient number of stations are made. Although the focus of this thesis is meso-level siting, all three levels should be considered.
