Meteorological data in the simulation of combined system work conditions
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
In the paper results of combined system work simulation basing on rainfall data were shown. Rainfall height values were read for three time interval precisions: 10, 30 and 60 minutes. The last event corresponds with precision gained when using pluviographical specification. Simulation was realised for a calibrated catchment in Głogów. Obtained results point at possibility of significant differences gained when the simulation process is realized with data read directly from pluviographical recording in comparison with pluviographical specification usage. Reading with too low precision decreasing rainfall intensity differences in time could be also a reason why similarity of simulation results and direct reading is low. Such data application in calibration process could lead to parameters which could be rejected in verification of calibrated model.<br/><br/>
