Thin plate smoothing spline interpolation of daily rainfall for New Zealand using a climatological rainfall surface

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for estimating daily rainfall on a 0.05° latitude/longitude grid covering all of New Zealand for the period 1960-2004 using a second order derivative trivariate thin plate smoothing spline spatial interpolation model was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of the program ASHFALL for forecasting ashfall during the 1995 and 1996 eruptions of Ruapehu volcano

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the program predictions with the actual ash distribution of three major ash-producing events from Ruapehu in 1995 and 1996, and looked at the main sources of error.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generating Multiyear Gridded Daily Rainfall over New Zealand

TL;DR: In this article, a method for estimating daily rainfall over the whole of New Zealand on a 5-km grid is described and tested over a period from January 1985 to April 2002, and improvement over a spatial interpolation method was gained by scaling high-elevation rainfall estimates using simulated mesoscale model rainfall surfaces that are generated for short periods in 1994 and 1996.
