Indeed, when a strong eventdtypically a local storm, which is frequentdwas recorded at the automatic rain gauge, its intensity was propagated to all neighbouring rain gauges, resulting in a strong overestimation of the rain intensity. Conversely, when a strong stormyevent was missed because it was not located on a recording gauge, which should also be frequent, the discrepancy between model and measurement was lower because the impact was local.
