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 کاملRainfall Retrieval Algorithm over Indian Land and Oceanic Regions Using Trmm Data
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is a joint US-Japanese mission to explore tropical rainfall and its effects on the earth's energy budget, general circulation, and climate. In the present study, a method has been developed here for rainfall retrieval over Indian land and oceanic regions from remotely sensed microwave (MW) brightness temperature (BT) data obtained from th...
متن کاملcalibration 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 ...
متن کاملDry/Wet Conditions Monitoring Based on TRMM Rainfall Data and Its Reliability Validation over Poyang Lake Basin, China
Local dry/wet conditions are of great concern in regional water resource and floods/droughts disaster risk management. Satellite-based precipitation products have greatly improved their accuracy and applicability and are expected to offer an alternative to ground rain gauges data. This paper investigated the capability of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) rainfall data for monitoring t...
متن کاملFractal analysis of rainfall observed in two different climatic regions
The importance of high-resolution rainfall data to understand the intricacies of the dynamics of hydrological processes and describe them in a sophisticated and accurate way has been increasingly realized. The present study investigates the general suitability of fractal (or scaling) theory for understanding the rainfall behaviour and transforming rainfall data from one time scale to another. T...
