Application of objective techniques for assessing precipitation gauge requirements for streamflow forecasting / by L.O. Mapanao and W.I. Pugsley = Application de méthodes objectives à l'évaluation des...: En57-58/854-1977E-PDF

"This paper describes the application of a physically defined topographic precipitation index (TPI) and Gandin's correlation analysis method in assessing the adequacy of precipitation networks in the Saint John River basin for purposes of water supply and daily river forecasting. These objective techniques permit identification of network data gaps corresponding to a prescribed uncertainty in estimating areal precipitation. The TPI method also demonstrates the feasibility of simulating the spatial variations of a field from known physical relationships to assess the requirement without the necessity of first establishing a dense network"--Abstract.
