Daily time scale:estimated directly using the data set available for all Hourly time scale:all the statistics, including the coefficients between gages,, can be estimated directly from the data set available at these locations. The unknown cross-correlation coefficients at hourly level were estimated indirectly using the empirical relationship: (rij) h = (rij) d m
