Gage Weights and Precipitation Methods in Hydrologic Modeling

Exploring the concept of gage weights and precipitation methods in hydrologic modeling using the HEC-HMS software. Dive into the pros and cons of flexible gage weighting, calibration processes, and best practices for estimating time and depth weights. Discover how to set up a gage weights model, include subbasins, and utilize gages effectively in your hydrologic engineering projects.

Presentation Transcript

1. HEC HEC- -HMS HMS Meteorologic Models: Meteorologic Models: Gage Weights Gage Weights Precipitation Method Precipitation Method Gregory Karlovits, P.E., PH, CFM Hydrologic Engineering Center U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

2. Gage Weights Precipitation Method Pros Flexible Accounts for space and time variation Can be calibrated Cons Still dependent on gage data Up to you to determine weights

3. Setting Up A Gage Weights Model

4. Include Subbasins

5. Use Gages

6. Weights

7. Estimating Depth Weights

8. Estimating Time Weights Best practice: use a weight of 1 for the best gage, considering: Granularity of data finer is better Location of gage near the center of subbasin is better Use 0 for the rest

9. Total Storm Gages Total precipitation known Time distribution unknown

10. Optional Settings in Met Model Editor Use Indexing Adjust for climatology Total Override Override total depth for a gage
