SATELLITE MEASUREMENTS OF PRECIPITATION INTENSITY AND THEIR VERIFICATION

The main focus of this study was to establish the feasibility working with intensity data individual events very heavy precipitation (50 mm or more in 12 hours less) observed over territory Ukraine using remote sensing (satellite GPM IMERG), as well verification satellite ground station (self-recording rain gauge data). consisted processing and maps – IMERG products, building tables graphs based on them, calculating statistical indices evaluating them. A total 7 parameters were involved, namely systematic error (bias), mean absolute (e ̅), quadratic (sound), Pearson correlation coefficient (r), factor 2 (FA2), 5 (FA5), Index Agreement (IOA). calculation carried out both for cases daily totals. In cases, unsatisfactory results obtained. Statistical links between series are insignificant, data, when assessing flat territories Ukraine, demonstrate significant errors, which can be caused by a discrepancy itself kind use, shift terms coordinates, time collection. Therefore, additional research is needed, search new improvement proposed methodological approaches analysis information.
