Comparing Remote Sensing and Geostatistical Techniques in Filling Gaps in Rain Gauge Records and Generating Multi-Return Period Isohyetal Maps in Arid Regions—Case Study: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Arid regions are susceptible to flash floods and severe drought periods, therefore there is a need for accurate and gap-free rainfall data for the design of flood mitigation measures and water resource management. Nevertheless, arid regions may suffer from a shortage of precipitation gauge data, whe...
