Evaluation of TRMM satellite rainfall estimates (algorithms 3B42 V7 & RT) over the Santo Antônio county (Goiás, Brazil)

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...

Evaluation of Satellite Rainfall Estimates over the Chinese Mainland

Benefiting from the high spatiotemporal resolution and near-global coverage, satellite-based precipitation products are applied in many research fields. However, the applications of these products may be limited due to lack of information on the uncertainties. To facilitate applications of these products, it is crucial to quantify and document their error characteristics. In this study, four sa...

Accuracy evaluation of rainfall distribution of TRMM 43B3 satellite in the different climates of Iran

The lack of a reliable and extended system to monitor rainfall is one of the major challenges in analyzing, hydrological prediction and water resources management in Iran. Using satellite precipitation products in some parts of the country with lack or presence of low quality precipitation data, which can be used as alternative source for basins with sparse data in developing countries such as ...

Evaluation of the TRMM-3B43 V7 rainfall products on a monthly scale in the Northwest of Iran

calibration of trmm satellite 3b42 and 3b43 rainfall data in climatic zones of iran

extended abstract introduction rainfall prediction at regional and global scales is mostly as principle component of hydro-meteorological studies in un-gauged regions. ground-based measurements of precipitation are available with high accuracy in synoptic stations. spatial distribution of operational stations is now as one of the biggest problems in the developing countries such as iran, which ...
