I want to verify model result with TRMM product which is using Contiguous rain areas. anyone know to calculate Contiguous Rain Areas? do you know tools to calculate this?
Muhammad Rais Abdillah
To perform Contiguous Rain Areas (CRA) verification, basically we need to define rain clusters and use a masking method (http://www.cawcr.gov.au/projects/verification/CRA/CRA_verification.html).
If you own MATLAB, bwconncomp function can be a very useful tool to delineate rain clusters. You can try and explore this code:
obs= ; % put your observed rainfall (2 dimensions: lon and lat)
mod= ; % put your model output
% labeling grids whose rainfall greater than 1 mm
obsbw=zeros(size(obs));
obsbw(obs>=1)=1;
obsbw(obs
