Abstract: Using rotated principal component analysis (PCA), unique, orthogonal spatial patterns of daily and monthlyprecipitation on a well-instrumented, mountainous watershed in Idaho are examined for their relationship totopography, ...

Abstract: The spatial variability of 58 precipitation and temperature parameters from the ?generation of weather elements for multiple applications? (GEM) weather generator has been investigated over a region of significant complexity ...

Abstract: Two stochastic weather simulation models (USCLIMATE and CLIGEN) were compared for their performance in replicating observed precipitation, temperature, and solar radiation variables at six locations in the United States. ...

Abstract: The standard 8" nonrecording precipitation gauge has been used historically by the National Weather Service (NWS) as the official precipitation measurement instrument of the U.S. climate station network. From 1986 to 1992, ...
