Modeling Spatiotemporal Precipitation: Effects of Density, Interpolation, and Land Use Distribution

Figure 7

Comparison of the difference in normalized surface water discharge for each monitoring location between interpolation methods and meteorological station density. The coefficient of determination () is a comparison between the individual simulation and the baseline model. The range in discharge shown in the Thiessen polygon panel for 15 stations assumes a single lumped precipitation value based on the minimum and maximum observed precipitation.
