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...
متن کاملInvestigation of Discrepancies in Satellite Rainfall Estimates over Ethiopia
Tropical Applications of Meteorology Using Satellite and Ground-Based Observations (TAMSAT) rainfall estimates are used extensively across Africa for operational rainfall monitoring and food security applications; thus, regional evaluations ofTAMSATare essential to ensure its reliability. This study assesses the performance of TAMSAT rainfall estimates, along with the African Rainfall Climatolo...
متن کاملThe Estimation of Monthly Rainfall from Satellite Da
The global distribution of precipitation is an outstanding example of a pattern whose form cannot be deduced very satisfactorily from conventional observational data. Many investigations of the global hydrological cycle across real periods of time are based on broadly generalized assumptions concerning rainfall patterns, especially over the world’s oceans. This paper explores the feasibility of...
متن کاملTemporal and Spatial Assessment of Four Satellite Rainfall Estimates over French Guiana and North Brazil
Satellite precipitation products are a means of estimating rainfall, particularly in areas that are sparsely equipped with rain gauges. The Guiana Shield is a region vulnerable to high water episodes. Flood risk is enhanced by the concentration of population living along the main rivers. A good understanding of the regional hydro-climatic regime, as well as an accurate estimation of precipitati...
متن کاملThe TAMORA algorithm: satellite rainfall estimates over West Africa using multi- spectral SEVIRI data
A multi-spectral rainfall estimation algorithm has been developed for the Sahel region of West Africa with the purpose of producing accumulated rainfall estimates for drought monitoring and food security. Radar data were used to calibrate multi-channel SEVIRI data from MSG, and a probability of rainfall at several different rain-rates was established for each combination of SEVIRI radiances. Ra...
