Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose a rainfall gauge has an old slope of 2.5 and a new slope of 3.0. If the original rainfall reading for July is 150 mm, calculate the corrected value for that month.

💡 Hint: Focus on using the right formula for adjustment.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a scenario where two neighboring stations show a consistent slope, but your station's slope changes dramatically after a decade. Discuss the implications for data reliability and how the Ratio Method could be applied.

💡 Hint: Think of how neighboring data helps validate the station's records.
