Validation of Hourly Rainfall Data Against Daily Rainfall Records in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area
摘要
Accurate and reliable hourly rainfall data are crucial for hydrological analysis as inaccurate data induce misleading conclusions. This study assessed hourly rainfall data from Balai Besar Wilayah Sungai Ciliwung-Cisadane (BBWSCC) against daily records from Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika Indonesia (BMKG). The analysis compared the rain occurrences, the accumulated annual rainfall, and the daily rainfall using statistical parameters: MSE, RMSE, MAE, and R2. The validation process indicated general disagreement, shown by high discrepancies and large errors. Notably, RMSE being approximately twice that of MAE suggested significant outliers, while negative R2 showed a lack of linear correlation. The errors did not correlate with station proximity. These findings highlighted the inconsistency between BBWSCC’s hourly rainfall data and BMKG’s daily records.
