Accurate and consistent rainfall observations are vital for climatological studies in support of better planning and decision making. However, estimation of accurate spatial rainfall is limited by sparse rain gauge distributions. Satellite rainfall products can thus potentially play a role in spatial rainfall estimation but their skill and uncertainties need to be under-stood across spatialtime...

The nonstationary characteristics caused by significant variation in hydrometeorological series the context of climate change inevitably have a certain impact on selection an optimal gauging network. This study proposes entropy-based, multi-objective, rain gauge network optimization method to facilitate design 43 stations-based Huaihe River Basin (HRB), China. first goal this is improve accurac...
