Comparison of rain gauge observations with modeled precipitation over Cyprus using contiguous rain area analysis [PDF]
, 2005 Verification of modeled rainfall with precipitation observed by a rain gauge network has been performed in a case study over the Cyprus Island. Cyprus has a relatively dense rain gauge network. The applied verification method is the Contiguous Rain Area (

Temporal- and spatial-scale and positional effects on rain erosivity derived from point-scale and contiguous rain data [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Up until now, erosivity required for soil loss predictions has been mainly estimated from rain gauge data at point scale and then spatially interpolated to erosivity maps.

Radar subpixel-scale rainfall variability and uncertainty: lessons learned from observations of a dense rain-gauge network [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Runoff and flash flood generation are very sensitive to rainfall's spatial and temporal variability. The increasing use of radar and satellite data in hydrological applications, due to the sparse distribution of rain gauges over most catchments worldwide,

Improving Rainfall Erosivity Estimates Using Merged TRMM and Gauge Data
Remote Sensing, 2017 Soil erosion is a global issue that threatens food security and causes environmental degradation. Management of water erosion requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in the erosive power of rainfall (erosivity).

Rain-Gauge Network Evaluations Using Spatiotemporal Correlation Structure for Semi-Mountainous Regions [PDF]
, 2014 A reliable network of rain gauges is a crucial component of rainfall estimation in a watershed. To provide a better evaluation method for rain-gauge networks, a new evaluation method using average inter-gauge correlation coefficients (averaged CC) for ...
