Numerical simulations of radar rainfall error propagation
[1] The primary advantage of radar observations of precipitation compared with traditional rain gauge measurements is their high spatial and temporal resolution and large areal coverage. Unfortunately, radar data require vigorous quality control before being converted into precipitation products that can be used as input to hydrologic models. In this study we coupled a physically based atmosphe...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Radar Rainfall Error Propagation
The prediction uncertainty of a hydrologic model is closely related to model formulation and the uncertainties in model parameters and inputs. Currently, the foremost challenges concern not only whether hydrologic model outputs match observations, but also whether or not model predictions are meaningful and useful in the contexts of land use and climate change. The latter is difficult to determ...
متن کاملModeling Radar Rainfall Estimation Uncertainties: Random Error Model
Precipitation is a major input in hydrological models. Radar rainfall data compared with rain gauge measurements provide higher spatial and temporal resolutions. However, radar data obtained form reflectivity patterns are subject to various errors such as errors in reflectivity-rainfall Z-R relationships, variation in vertical profile of reflectivity, and spatial and temporal sampling among oth...
متن کاملOn Numerical Error Propagation with Sensitivity
An emerging area of research is to automatically compute reasonably accurate upper bounds on numerical errors, including roundoffs due to the use of a finite-precision representation for real numbers such as floating point or fixed-point arithmetic. Previous approaches for this task are limited in their accuracy and scalability, especially in the presence of nonlinear arithmetic. Our main idea ...
متن کاملInterface Error Analysis for Numerical Wave Propagation
The numerical error associated with finite-difference simulation of wave propagation in discontinuous media consists of two components. The first component is a higher order error that leads to grid dispersion; it can be controlled by higher-order methods. The second component results from misalignment between numerical grids and material interfaces. We provide an explicit estimate of the inter...
