Rainfall Generator for the Meuse Basin: Inventory and homogeneity analysis of long daily precipitation records

For the development of a stochastic weather generator for the Meuse basin, the homogeneity of the long-term precipitation records from eastern Belgium and north-eastern France was tested. The relative homogeneity of the records was first ana{-}lysed for the Belgian and French stations separately, using four statistical tests. The tests were then repeated with the most reliable records from the two countries. For the period 1946-1998, 13 of the 23 records were homogeneous.
For the period 1928-1998, only 6 of the 18 available records were found to be homogeneous.
