This software system has been implemented for a few pilot watersheds in Oklahoma. Note that most datasets of observed rain come broken into shorter annual records anyway.
ANNIE seems to prefer hourly data, HECDSS handles 15 minutely. CASCADE2 (Yiwen Wang) also does HECDSS (a USArmy hydro time series manager). Graphics programs aid in the evaluation of the data. Using satellite signals from tens of thousands of existing Satellite terminals, we developed our proprietary algorithms, that transform them into rainfall. CASCADE1 (Mike Gregory) imports and exports rainfall timeseries into ANNIE (a USEPA hydro time series manager) and SWMM. Subbasin-average rainfall is then computed from the calibrated data and stored in a data base file for subsequent use by a river-flow forecast model. ) The radar data from the RADAP II is 'calibrated' with the rain gage data using a simple Kriging technique. The rainfall-analysis software retrieves real-time radar-rainfall data from a National Weather Service RADAP II (Radar Data Processor), and rain gage measurements from data collection platforms via the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center to aid hydrologists in making real-time water control decisions. A set of rainfall analysis software that incorporates this methodology has been developed by the U. By such an analysis, priority can be placed on fine-tuning data. The interface allows users to analyze recent rainfall in the desert locust breeding areas via maps and location-specific time series. The use of radar-rainfall data in combination with rain gage measurements may improve rainfall estimates over those based on either form of measurement alone. The development of a best-fit unit hydrograph to rainfall-runoff data is an important. A rainfall monitoring product based on daily rainfall estimates from the Climate Prediction Center.
