TRMM satellite rainfall data
Spatial rainfall is a key input to Distributed Hydrological Models, which is the most important limitation for the accuracy of hydrological models. Model performance and uncertainty could increase when rain gauge is sparse. Satellite-based precipitation products would be an alternative to ground-based rainfall estimates in present and 5 the foreseeable future, however, it is necessary to evalua...
متن کاملImproving Rainfall Erosivity Estimates Using Merged TRMM and Gauge Data
Soil erosion is a global issue that threatens food security and causes environmental degradation. Management of water erosion requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in the erosive power of rainfall (erosivity). Rainfall erosivity can be estimated from rain gauge stations and satellites. However, the time series rainfall data that has a high temporal resolution are of...
متن کاملModulation of subtropical stratospheric gravity waves by equatorial rainfall
Internal gravity waves influence a variety of phenomena in Earth’s stratosphere and upper troposphere, including aviation weather turbulence and circulations that set high-altitude distributions of ozone and greenhouse gases. Here coupling between the dominant mode of subseasonal variability of the equatorial atmosphere—the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO)—and subtropical stratospheric gravity w...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the MJO Guided by TRMM Rainfall Data
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), an eastward-propagating equatorial disturbance most active during the boreal winter, dominates atmospheric intraseasonal variability in the tropical Eastern Hemisphere. The MJO involves cyclic patterns of suppressed convection and intense rainfall, has a period ranging from 20-100 days, and is manifested in numerous atmospheric and oceanic variables. This st...
متن کاملTropical Rainfall-surface Temperature Relations Using Trmm Precipitation Data
In this study, nine-years (1998-2006) of monthly precipitation data from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) are used to examine the relations between tropical rainfall and surface temperature. A technique is developed to adjust the PR monthly rainfall data in the Tropics (whole ocean and whole land) to account for the effect of the TRMM orbit boost from 350 km to 402 km in August 2001. ...
