Description
Summary:The accuracy of various hydrological analyzes depends heavily on accurate estimates of the rainfall spatial distribution. Satellite data is often used as an alternative grid data in areas that do not have plenty of rain gauge stations but still have low data accuracy. Thus a high-resolution grid data will be created from the rainfall observation using the best interpolation method. This study began with searching for the best interpolation method between Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Ordinary Cokriging (OCK) with monthly rainfall data for 1998-2016. Then an evaluation was made regarding the effect of elevation and station samples variables on interpolation results. The best interpolation method was evaluated and implemented for daily rainfall interpolation. GPM and CHIRPS data are assumed to be the rainfall products that represent surface rainfall and are used as the comparison data for the best rainfall interpolation. The results show that OCK method is better than OK with RMSE OCK 18.13 and RMSE OK 19.02. The elevation covariate variable can reduce the RMSE value. Variation in station samples shows higher RMSE result when the number of station samples decreases by 0.1-2. OCK, GPM, and CHIRPS spatial plots do not show the same pattern for extreme events. This corresponds to the small correlation values in the range of 0.1-0.4. Whereas OCK has a fairly good monthly correlation with a range of values of 0.4-0.7. OCK can detect rainfall with monthly POD values ranging from 0.7-0.9. Whereas OCK made a mistake in detecting rain events with daily FAR values ranging from 0.5-0.9. Daily and monthly evaluation results indicate the OCK method has a high POD value, low FAR, and a pretty good correlation for the monthly.
