Excerpt from Reciprocal Distance Squared Method: A Computer Technique for Estimating Areal Precipitation
Rapid progress in the application of watershed modeling to solve hydrologic and water resources problems has created a demand for an effective, precise, and computer oriented means of evaluating areal rainfall. Several new approaches have been presented in recent years (1, 7, 10, The general procedures of these approaches can be defined as follow: A rainfall distribution equation is derived from the location of rain gages and rainfall measurements. A grid system is imposed on the watershed and rainfall at all grid points is calculated from the equation. Integrating rainfall at grid points with respect to the area within the watershed, divided by the watershed area, gives the average areal rainfall.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a computer technique called Reciprocal Distance Squared (RDS) to determine watershed rainfall, a key factor in hydrologic analyses. The technique uses a grid system to estimate rainfall at points where measurements aren't taken. It sums the products of measured rainfall and the reciprocal of the squared distance between a point and nearby rain gauges. These rainfall estimates can then be used to calculate the average areal rainfall of a watershed. The book also presents programs to calculate Thiessen weights and to draw isohyetal maps, which are used to depict the spatial distribution of rainfall. The significance of the book's insights is that they provide a precise, computer-oriented way to estimate rainfall, which is critical for accurate hydrologic and water resource modeling.
