35 Validation of Rainfall Products Ethiopia

36 Validation region and data Validation of Rainfall Products Stations used - Gauge data gridded using Climate Aided Interpolation - Kriging for interpolating the means Elevation [meters] 22 Topography and distribution of gauges. The four 2.5 degree boxes are used for at 2.5 degree resolution, and the number of gauges in each box is given. Stations in the larger box is used for validation at 1- degree resolution.

37 Validation of Rainfall Products Monthly at 2.5-degree

38 Validation of Rainfall Products 10-day total at 1 o x 1 o

39 Validation of Rainfall Products The following statistics were used to evaluate the accuracy of the rainfall estimate products to retrieve rainfall: coefficient of determination (R 2 ), mean error (ME), standard deviation (Stdv), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and bias. Where R = reference rain gauge observation, G = rainfall estimate product, and N = number of data pairs. ME and MAE are in mm while R 2, Stdv, RMSE and Bias are unit-less.
