Quantification of node importance in rain gauge network: influence of temporal resolution and rain gauge density

Rain Gauge Station Network Design for Hormozgan Province in Iran

A rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. The level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. In this study, a rain gauge network was designed for Hormozganprovince in the south of Iran. Monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...

optimal development of rain gauge network using kriging and entropy in geographic information system (gis), (case study of karkhe basin)

in the water resources planning and management, rainfall is considered as the main representative factor of region's hydroclimate system. there is a high level of spatial and temporal variability in rainfall events. rain gauges are used for precipitation measurement in different points of the region. due to limitations of rain gauges development, it is impossible to measure the exact distr...

Evaluation of Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Performance and Data Quality

Distance in spatial interpolation of daily rain gauge data

Spatial interpolation of rain gauge data is important in forcing of hydrological simulations or evaluation of weather predictions, for example. This paper investigates the application of statistical distance, like one minus common variance of observation time series, between data sites instead of geographical distance in interpolation. Here, as a typical representative of interpolation methods ...
