| Abstract | This report analyses the different approaches currently used to achieve a reliable model for the precipitation resource. The study was carried out for the Comunidad Valenciana, an Spanish Mediterranean coastal region. Monthly rainfall means were available at a total of 207 meteorological stations. Sample data was filtered and grouped into five variables (annual, spring, summer, autumn and winter) and several geostatistical and traditional interpolation methods were tested. To validate the maps, the cross validation method was used and some statistical estimators were computed. Finally, error and regional analysis were performed. The better overall results were achieved for the simple and ordinary Cokriging geostatistical approaches and for the multiple regression procedure with several topographic and geographic variables. |
