β¦ Synopsis
Empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) have been used to characterize spatial variability of daily and monthly rainfall and runoff in Indiana. Data from a few of the surrounding states have also been used in the analysis. After a brief discussion of the theory underlying EOF analysis, results of data analysis are presented. These results indicate that the data can be efftciently compressed and that hydrologically and meteorologically homogeneous areas can be objectively delineated by using EOF analysis.

This paper provides a procedure for evaluating model performance where model predictions and observations are given as time series data. The procedure focuses on the analysis of error time series by graphing them, summarizing them, and predicting their variability through available information (reca
## Abstract An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) model is proposed as a prediction method for data collected over space and time. EOF models are widely used in a number of disciplines, including Meteorology and Oceanography. The appealing feature of this model is the advantage of not requiring an
## Abstract A basic hypothesis is proposed: given that waveletβbased analysis has been used to interpret runoff timeβseries, it may be extended to evaluation of rainfallβrunoff model results. Conventional objective functions make certain assumptions about the data series to which they are applied (
