Hi All,
I have an interesting problem to solve, I hope
someone could help me.
We are working on flood early warning in Somalia
and we have the following situation.
We have an existing network of manual rain gauges
that we receive on a monthly basis with daily
readings taken manually by a person in the field.
These however can be unreliable.
We have an option to install automatic rain gauges
that would give us an accurate measurement of
rainfall per day. We would like to use
geo-statistics to then give a prediction and error
surface and then use these surfaces to evaluate how
accurate and reliable our existing manual network
is.
Is there a way to calculate the optimal network
(number and location) for the automatic stations so
that we get a reliable prediction surface which we
can then use to evaluate our manual network?
I am the most familiar with the ArcGIS GeoStatistical
Analyst.
Thanks and regards
Craig
