Reciprocal Distance Squared Method: A Computer Technique for Estimating Areal Precipitation (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Accurate rainfall estimates with a computer-based method
Discover a practical approach to estimating areal rainfall by using nearby rain gages and distance-based weights. This book explains a data-driven method that emphasizes local information over broad trend models, helping you produce more realistic rainfall maps.
Two clear, example-driven sections show how the Reciprocal Distance Squared (RDS) method works in practice. You’ll see how rainfall at an ungaged point is estimated from neighboring gages, and how a grid system is used to compute area-wide rainfall without assuming a fixed distribution equation.- Learn how the RDS method selects nearby gages and assigns weights based on distance
- See how grid point rainfall is calculated and then aggregated to watershed areal rainfall
- Understand how gage weights are tabulated and how the method compares with traditional approaches
- Explore practical considerations, such as mesh size, radius of influence, and data requirements
