Comparing rainfall interpolation techniques for small subtropical urban catchments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study focuses on evaluating the suitability of three interpolation methods in terms of their accuracy, for small urban catchments. The Bridgewater Creek catchment in south Brisbane is the region of study. Thirteen storm events measured over 24-hours are interpolated using an inverse-distance weighted average method, thin plate smoothing spline, and an ordinary kriging technique. The delete-one validation method is used for comparing the 3 interpolation techniques.

تأثیر تغییرات مکانی بارندگی بر پیشبینی هیدروگراف سیلاب در حوضههای آبریز کوهستانی
In this study, the influence of spatial heterogeneity of rainfall on flood hydrograph prediction in three mountainous catchments in south west of Iran was studied. Two interpolation techniques including Thiessen polygons method and Inverse Distance Weighting method were applied to compare the rainfall patterns of surrounding rain-gages in hydrograph simulation with rainfall patterns of nearest ...
متن کاملOn the use of radar reflectivity for estimation of the areal reduction factor
In order to estimate the rainfall fields over an entire basin raingauge, pointwise measurements need to be interpolated and the small-scale variability of rainfall fields can lead to biases in the rain rate estimation over an entire basin, above all for small or medium size mountainous and urban catchments. For these reasons, several raingauges should be installed in different places in order t...
متن کاملCharacterization of Urban Runoff Pollution between Dissolved and Particulate Phases
To develop urban stormwater management effectively, characterization of urban runoff pollution between dissolved and particulate phases was studied by 12 rainfall events monitored for five typical urban catchments. The average event mean concentration (AEMC) of runoff pollutants in different phases was evaluated. The AEMC values of runoff pollutants in different phases from urban roads were hig...
متن کاملExploring the Linkage between Urban Flood Risk and Spatial Patterns in Small Urbanized Catchments of Beijing, China
In the context of global urbanization, urban flood risk in many cities has become a serious environmental issue, threatening the health of residents and the environment. A number of hydrological studies have linked urban flooding issues closely to the spectrum of spatial patterns of urbanization, but relatively little attention has been given to small-scale catchments within the realm of urban ...
متن کاملUncertainty in the Spatial Interpolation of Urban Rain Gauges Data
Rainfall data is useful in many fields such as urban management, agriculture, and so on. Spatial interpolation is widely used to interpolation continue rainfall data from discrete rainfall gauges. The uncertainty in spatial interpolation is change in different region. Paper focus on urban small area of Beijing city, Xicheng District and analyses uncertainty of spatial interpolation from four as...
