Precipitation trend analysis for The Langat River Basin, Selangor, Malaysia by Palizdan, Narges

“…In order to identify the homogeneous regions respectively for the annual and seasonal scales, firstly, at- site mean total annual and separately at site mean total seasonal precipitation were spatialized into 5 km × 5 km grids using the inverse distance weighting (IDW) algorithm. Next, the optimum number of homogeneous regions (clusters) is computed using the Silhouette Coefficient approach. …”
