Science - Mathematics & Statistics / water management | | Spanish term or phrase: relacionar (matemáticamente) | Hi, I'd appreciate your help with this term.
Context is:
"Finalmente se obtendrá la precipitación máxima en 24 horas para cada subcuenca, cuya relación con la precipitación máxima diaria se ***relaciona*** habitualmente mediante el coeficiente 1,13
....
La caracterización consiste en establecer unos índices que reflejen las características medias de las cuencas, de tal manera que podamos conocer, a priori, el comportamiento hidrológico de las mismas y de forma que una vez ***relacionados*** estos índices con los parámetros del modelo, esto nos permita por un lado, establecer los parámetros de modelación de partida y por otro, extrapolar el modelo hidrológico desde aquellas áreas hidrográficas de las que se dispone de otra información a aquellas de las que no se dispone de más información o ésta es poco fiable."
Thanks :) |

| | [see my suggestions below] | Explanation:
You need different translations for each occurrence of the word.
For the first,
cuya relación con la precipitación máxima diaria se relaciona habitualmente mediante el coeficiente 1,13
I would simply say
"W'hich is normally 1.13 times the maximum daily rainfall."
For the second,
una vez relacionados estos índices con los parámetros del modelo,
I would translate 'relacionados" as "compared".
