<br />Each mode 1 ra i nce 11 was subj ected to a samp 1 i ng rout i ne by fi ve di fferent gage <br />networks with gage densities of 1, 4, 11, 25, and 100 mi2 per gage4 (2.6, <br />10.4, 28.5, 64.7, and 260.0 km2 per gage). In addition, 15 of the model <br />raincells [E = 1, 2, and 3 for the five values of G and for (X offset, Y <br />offset) = (0.35 0.35)] were sampled by gage networks with gage dE~nsities of <br />0.11 and 0.25 mi2 per gage (0.1 and 1.0 km2 per gage). Each of the gage <br /> <br />networks was configured as a uniformly spaced, square grid of ga!~es in <br />cartesian coordinate space (gage spacing LlX =Ll y). The sampl ing routine <br /> <br />consisted of systematically p"lacing each gage network in 400 equally probable <br /> <br />locations with respect to the model raincell such that, for example, the gage <br />at the origin, xoYo, occupied the following locations: (xo + iLlll) <br />(Yo + jLll) where i = 0,1,2, ...,19, j = 0,1,2, ...,19, andLll = Llx/20 <br />= D.Y /20. <br /> <br />All of the output data from each sanpling routine were solely determined from <br />the resulting gage catches. The total raincell precipitation resulting from <br />each gage network placement was calculated by the arithmetic method (Linsley <br />et al., 1949) assuming that the precipitation sampled by each ga~le was the <br /> <br />average value of its grid subarea and summing all grid subarea precipitation <br /> <br />amounts. The mean and standanj deviation of the total raincell precipitation <br />of each 400 sample set corresponding to each gage density were calculated and <br /> <br />di spl ayed for each isohyetal pattern. In additi on, the percentage of compl etely <br />unsampled cases (misses) and the maximum density at which the percentage of <br /> <br />4 Gage network characteri st i cs are gi ven in units of mil es to facil itate <br />reference to and comparison with the hydrometeorological literature and, in <br />particular, well-known gage networks and watershed areas and their associated <br />gage densities. Metric units are given along with English units elsewhere. <br /> <br />9 <br />
