Effect of the Resolution of Tipping-Bucket Rain Gauge and Calculation Method on Rainfall Intensities in an Andean Mountain Gradient
A laser-optical disdrometer served as reference to assess the absolute percent bias of calculated rainfall intensity using the data of different-resolution tipping-bucket rain gauges classically applied by climatologists and hydrologists in the Andean region. Additionally, the impact of the calculation method (tip counting versus cubic spline interpolation) was examined. The combined effect was...
متن کاملMulticriteria design of rain gauge networks for flash flood prediction in semiarid catchments with complex terrain
[1] Despite the availability of weather radar data at high spatial (1 km) and temporal (5–15 min) resolution, ground‐based rain gauges continue to be necessary for accurate estimation of storm rainfall input to catchments during flash flood events, especially in mountainous catchments. Given economical considerations, a long‐standing problem in catchment hydrology is to establish optimal placem...
متن کاملCertified accuracy of rainfall data as a standard requirement in scientific investigations
This paper elaborates on the rationale behind the proposed standard limits for the accuracy of rainfall intensity measurements obtained from tipping-bucket and other types of rain gauges. Indeed, based on experimental results obtained in the course of international instrument Intercomparison initiatives and specific laboratory tests, it is shown here that the accuracy of operational rain gauges...
متن کاملQuality Standards for Rain Intensity Measurements
A suitable qualification module for rain intensity measurement instruments is proposed based on an automatic procedure for dynamic calibration of traditional Tipping Bucket Raingauges (TBRs). Following an initial background of dedicated laboratory tests, which assisted in producing reference calibration curves for various types of commercial gauges from different manufacturing companies, the ef...
متن کاملA Propagation Study of the 28 GHz LMDS System Performance under Rain Fading
In this paper, rain statistics of 10 years record in Taiwan area was used to investigate the transmission performance of the Ka-band LMDS system with QAM modulation. Emphasis was placed to investigate the effects of rain fading under MQAM modulation schemes. It is found that for LMDS cellular network, M-QAM modulation is difficult to provide an effective and reliable high speed transmission for...
