✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Following an earlier paper, which classified tropical rainfall stations using 34 variables and a single clustering approach, this paper compares the results with those utilizing three other methods. A variety of measures were used to assess ‘performance’ of the methods. Three of the methods (Ward, Average Linkage, and Lance‐Williams) produced very similar results, and even the other one (Centroid) showed a reasonably similar pattern. The similarity in results from the different methods suggests that the station groups obtained are meaningful. However, minor differences are worthy of consideration when climatological interpretation is undertaken at a later stage of the project.

## Abstract The aim of this study is to model rainfall amounts on a daily basis by fitting a smooth curve to the mean rainfall __per__ rainy day. The rainfall amounts are described as gamma distributions with smoothing parameters. The smoothing technique used is the approach of the Fourier series.
