CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS ON THE RAINFALL SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF MEDIUM AND SMALL WATERSHEDS IN LOESS PLATEAU REGIONS
Daily rainfall data is one of the important material in calculating rainfall erosivity. To select optimum daily rainfall stations to reflect the rainfall characteristic in the Loess Plateau regions, the daily rainfall data about Chabagou watershed was analyzed. The relationship between daily rainfall correlation coefficient and distance between rain gauge stations was concluded. At the same time, hexagon structure was borrowed to discuss the area that one station can represent. It showed that when correlation coefficients were r=0. 8 and r = 0. 7, the longest distance between rain gauge stations should be no more than 9 and 19 km respectively.
