Rainfall Errors at a Point:
• Non-Gaussian, Non-smooth (Atomic Probability Mass)
• Non-stationary
(1) Mis-located rainfall cells/clusters; (2) Mis-timed events; (3) Missing/excessive cells/events.
Chatdarong’s Approach from a Lagrangian Perspective
• Position Errors (shift detection by MRA)
• Scale (Intensity) Errors
• Timing Errors

• Sequence of raster images (time series of points)
• High-dimensional, sparse
• Complicated errors
• Implicit multiscale structures
• Most data available in this framework
Eulerian Perspective Lagrangian Perspective
• Clusters/cells, and their locations, shapes, sizes, intensities, life cycles, ...
• Low-dimensional, compact
• Less complicated errors
• Explicit multiscale structures
• No observation data in this format so far
Storm cell/cluster identification/ tracking (Quantization) – Difficult!
Rasterization – Easy!
