| Abstract: | This paper outlines a methodology to estimate monthly precipitation surfaces at 1-km resolution for the Upper Shiyang River watershed(USRW) in northwest China.Generation of precipitation maps is based on the application of a four-variable genetic algorithm(GA) trained on 10 years of weather and ancillary data,i.e.,surface air temperature,relative humidity,Digital Elevation Model-derived estimates of elevation,and time of year collected at 29 weather stations in west-central Gansu and northern Qinghai provin... |
