Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the normals of three nearby stations: Station A (200 mm), Station B (180 mm), Station C (160 mm) and observed rainfall of 190 mm at Station D, estimate the missing rainfall at Station D using the Normal Ratio Method.
💡 Hint: Focus on how ratios are derived from the normals.
Evaluate a scenario where normals of a station have changed significantly over the years. How would you approach estimating missing data under this condition?
💡 Hint: Think about how historical consistency impacts current data.
