Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A station recorded 120 mm while two nearby stations recorded 100 mm and 130 mm. Calculate the missing rainfall using the Arithmetic Mean Method.
💡 Hint: Add the values and divide by the total number of stations.
You have stations A, B, C reporting 50 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm respectively. How would you estimate the missing data using the Inverse Distance Method assuming A is 1 km away, B is 3 km away, and C is 5 km away?
💡 Hint: Ensure to calculate contributions based on inverse distance.
