Abstract
AbstractThis study evaluates several error indices of the radar rain rate from the viewpoint of the accuracy of rainfall-runoff analysis. The error indices considered in this study are the mean error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), normalized standard deviation (NSD), correlation coefficient (CC), bias (BS), and radar rain rate quality criterion (RRQC). These indices were analyzed using the concept of sum of squares (SS) and mean squares (MS) in the analysis of variance (ANOVA), which explains how the bias and random error of the radar rain rate are combined in an error index. Also, these error indices were linked to the errors in the runoff result, such as the total runoff volume, peak flow, and peak time. As an application, two dam basins in Korea were selected, the Chungju Dam basin and the Namgang Dam basin. The radar rain rates from Gwangdeoksan Radar and Gudeoksan Radar were used as input for the rainfall-runoff analysis. Six different rainfall events were applied to secure various rainfall types. ...
