While rainfall is the key input to most hydrological models, its precise characteristics are often uncertain. Runoff generation does not only depend on the measured rainfall resolution but also on the level of detail of land-use and therefore of the runoff generation. This study aims at identifying the influence of rainfall radar resolution and...
