Evaluation of Precipitation Products of TRMM Satellite in Precipitation and Erosion Rate Monitoring across Iran
Extended abstract 1- Introduction In order to calculate the erosive power of rainfall, high-resolution precipitation data are necessary for rainfall erosion evaluation. However, collecting the required data on kinetic energy of the rainfall particles and precipitation rates with short-term temporal resolution is a time-intensive task, particularly in developing countries, and the collecte...
متن کاملStatistical Characteristics of Daily Precipitation: Comparisons of Gridded and Point Datasets
Gridding of daily precipitation data alleviates many of the limitations of data that are derived from point observations, such as problems associated with missing data and the lack of spatial coverage. As a result, gridded precipitation data can be valuable for applied climatological research and monitoring, but they too have limitations. To understand the limitations of gridded data more fully...
متن کاملConstructing Retrospective Gridded Daily Precipitation and Temperature Datasets for the Conterminous United States
This paper presents and evaluates a method for the construction of long-range and wide-area temporal spatial datasets of daily precipitation and temperature (maximum and minimum). This method combines the interpolation of daily ratios/fractions derived from ground-based meteorological station records and respective fields of monthly estimates. Data sources for the described implementation over ...
متن کاملSpatial Reallocation of Global Gridded Climate Datasets
Global climatological data are often evaluated in grids with perpendicular boundaries in a cylinder projection of the longitude and latitude circles of the earth. Typical datasets contain 10 6 to 10 8 values. Each dataset is organized in a diierent grid, according to the authors's preferences. When calculating the global radiation over the ocean, for example, it is essential that cloud data fro...
متن کاملStudies of 21st-century precipitation trends over West Africa
West Africa includes a semi-arid zone between the Sahara Desert and the humid Gulf of Guinea coast, approximately between 10°N and 20°N, which is irrigated by summer monsoon rains. This article refers to the region as the Sahel. Rain-fed agriculture is the primary sustenance for Sahel populations, and severe droughts (in the 1970s and 1980s), therefore, have devastating negative societal impact...
