In fact:<br />

A measure of accuracy of the estimate given by equation (11.1) is the quantity defined<br />

A<br />

The bar denotes an average over a large series of hG and hG.<br />

From equations (11. I), (11.2) and (II.3), we obtain:<br />

E2 = lim 2(hthf -htho -hrho +%)<br />

The measured precipitation depth, ho, can be written as<br />

where h,* is the true precipitation depth at P, and 6 is a random measuring error with<br />

F= 0. (For the sake of simplicity it is assumed that ho has been corrected for systematic<br />

errors such as those due to wind).<br />

Further, it is reasonable to assume that:<br />

The Quantity 62 is the standard error of observations at P.<br />

From equations (II.4), (11.5) and (11.6) we get:<br />

As the homogeneity of S has been assumed, we can write:<br />

(i = 1, ... N).<br />
