Development of an Inductive Rain Gauge [PDF]
Sensors, 2022 Measuring weather data in an urban environment is an important task on the journey towards smart cities. Heavy rain can cause flooding in cities and prevent emergency services from reaching their destination because roads or underpasses are blocked.

Considering Rain Gauge Uncertainty Using Kriging for Uncertain Data
Atmosphere, 2018 In urban hydrological models, rainfall is the main input and one of the main sources of uncertainty. To reach sufficient spatial coverage and resolution, the integration of several rainfall data sources, including rain gauges and weather radars, is often

Evaluation of the Radar QPE and Rain Gauge Data Merging Methods in Northern China
Remote Sensing, 2020 Radar-rain gauge merging methods have been widely used to produce high-quality precipitation with fine spatial resolution by combing the advantages of the rain gauge observation and the radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE). Different merging

Optimization of rain gauge sampling density for river discharge prediction using Bayesian calibration [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 River discharges are often predicted based on a calibrated rainfall-runoff model. The major sources of uncertainty, namely input, parameter and model structural uncertainty must all be taken into account to obtain realistic estimates of the accuracy of ...

Data Mining of Remotely-Sensed Rainfall for a Large-Scale Rain Gauge Network Design
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Rain gauges are able to measure point rainfall with high accuracy compared with remote sensing observations. However, a single rain gauge cannot provide continuous spatial coverage, and thus, rain gauge networks need to be designed in a way that will ...

Global Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves based on observed sub-daily rainfall (GSDR-IDF) [PDF]
Scientific DataShort-duration extreme rainfall events can cause flash flooding and infrastructure failures, yet resources to assess these remain limited, particularly at the global scale. Heterogeneous data availability, inconsistent quality control, and methodological

Citizen rain gauges improve hourly radar rainfall bias correction using a two-step Kalman filter [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 The low density of conventional rain gauge networks is often a limiting factor for radar rainfall bias correction. Citizen rain gauges offer a promising opportunity to collect rainfall data at a higher spatial density.

Optimal Rain Gauge Network Design Aided by Multi-Source Satellite Precipitation Observation
Remote Sensing, 2022 Optimized rain gauge networks minimize their input and maintenance costs. Satellite precipitation observations are particularly susceptible to the effects of terrain elevation, vegetation, and other topographical factors, resulting in large deviations ...
