Abstract

The limited acquisition of rainfall data from the Climatological Station of Deli Serdang has resulted in constraints on research in several fields. Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) has spatial and temporal advantages as a solution to this problem. This study aims to provide information on the rain thickness equation model based on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Satellite as an alternative to calculating rain thickness at the Climatological Station of Deli Serdang. Data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Satellite and Climatological Station of Deli Serdang were used, covering the period from January 1 to December 31, 2021. The Rescaled Adjusted Partial Sums (RAPS) method was used to verify the data quality, and the two data were consistent. The rain thickness equation model was obtained using a simple linear regression method. At the same time, the validation of the rain thickness equation model with surface measurements used the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), and Correlation Coefficient (R) methods. The validation findings demonstrate that the rain thickness data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Satellite was close to that of the Climatological Station of Deli Serdang, with an RMSE value of 5.85 mm, NSE of 0.99 mm, and R of 0.99. Hi = 5.21ti0.50 mm was the model used to calculate the equation for rain thickness. 6.84 mm, 0.69 mm, and 0.94 mm were the validation results of the equation model for RMSE, NSE, and R.Keywords: Rain Thickness, Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), Climatological Station of Deli Serdang, Equation Model, Validation
