Spatial-Temporal Evaluation of Rain-Fauge Network Based on Entropy Theory Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Ground-based rain-gauge stations are the most direct sources of precipitation data. The evaluation of rain-gauge network is essential and important for water management. One of the most popular methods for design of hydrometric network including rain- gauge network is information theory. Entropy concepts from information theory has been widely adopted and applied in rain-gauge network design. In this paper, spatial- temporal evaluation of rain-gauge network located in Shanghai, China will be performed based on entropy theory. The transinformation-distance (T-D) spatial model is applied under three different sampling frequencies. Weekly precipitation data fits the T-D model best. In addition, the representative network is evaluated to be suitable according to the result.
