Abstract

Both exponents of distance and elevation into distance-and-elevation ratio method for estimating missing rainfall data are expressed as squares together but in this study the two exponents are differently separated and analyzed. We used 326 hourly rainfall events of precipitation data during 10 years of 2004 to 2013 observed at a base station of Pyeongchang and the five neighboring index stations-Bangrim, Suju, Cheongoksan, Jinbu, Yeongwol1-in Han River basin for a case study. As a result, exponent values of distance and elevation appropriate for a topography of the site appear as 3.7 and 0.57 respectively. The exponents of distance and elevation difference need to be applied according to topographical characteristics of site where estimating missing data or interpolation are required.
