Abstract |
This study proposed a methodology for evaluating the radar rainfall data, whose basic idea is similar to the analysis of variance in statistics. This method enables us to represent separately the error from the bias and that from the data variability. The proposed method was then applied to two storm events for its evaluation. As results, the error from the bias was found to comprises most of the raw radar data error, which becomes significantly decreased in the quality improved cases. On the other hand, the error from the data variability was rather increased due to the quality improvement procedure. The proposed methodology was found to be effective for evaluating the data quality of a storm event for steps of quality improvement, but has a limitation for comparing qualities of storm events. This limitation should be implemented for its general application. |
