Short summary
Traditional precipitation analyses often misrepresent intense rainfall's spatial variability. This study evaluates different spatial covariances to capture this variability in a geostatistical framework. The best covariance includes anisotropy derived from daily climate model simulations, offering a reliable alternative to anisotropy estimation using rain gauges. These findings highlight the importance of including anisotropy when generating precipitation inputs for hydrological modeling.
