Title
Topographic Distance Functions for Interpolation of Meteorological Data.
Abstract
the reference evapotranspiration ET0 is an important meteorological quan- tity in agriculture and water resource management. It is usually estimated from other meteorological quantities measured at weather stations. To estimate ET0 at an ar- bitrary geographical position these quantities must be interpolated. The Center for Spatial Technologies And Remote Sensing (CSTARS) at UC Davis uses the DayMet approach for this task. We discuss some inconsistencies within the DayMet approach and suggest im- provements. One significant problem of DayMet is the lack of consideration of terrain topography. We define new distance functions that are elevation-dependent and show preliminary results of the comparison of the classic and the improved DayMet ap- proach.
