Hydrological Assessment of Daily Satellite Precipitation Products over a Basin in Iran
In order to measure precipitation as the main variable for estimating the runoff and designing hydraulic structures, the satellite algorithm products that have the proper spatial and temporal coverage, can be used. In this study, at first, the daily streamflow simulation of Sarough-Cahy River from the Zarinehroud basin was conducted through the artificial neural network (ANN) and ground data of...
متن کاملA Rainfall Model Based on a Geographically Weighted Regression Algorithm for Rainfall Estimations over the Arid Qaidam Basin in China
Accurate rainfall estimations based on ground-based rainfall observations and satellite-based rainfall measurements are essential for hydrological and environmental modeling in the Qaidam Basin of China. We evaluated the accuracy of daily and monthly scale Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) rainfall products in the Qaidam Basin. A Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) was used to est...
متن کاملRainfall Estimation Using Satellite Data for Paraíba Do Sul
This work presents a self-consistent algorithm for near real-time rainfall estimation via infrared Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) (each 1⁄2 hour) data based on a validation simultaneous dataset from Precipitation Radar (PR) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, GOES and lightning data, for the basin of Paraíba do Sul river. The dataset corre...
متن کاملInvestigating Error Metrics for Satellite Rainfall Data at Hydrologically Relevant Scales
This paper addresses the following open question: What set of error metrics for satellite rainfall data can advance the hydrologic application of new-generation, high-resolution rainfall products over land? The authors’ primary aim is to initiate a framework for building metrics that are mutually interpretable by hydrologists (users) and algorithm developers (data producers) and to provide more...
متن کاملLMODEL: A Satellite Precipitation Methodology Using Cloud Development Modeling. Part II: Validation
A new satellite-based rainfall monitoring algorithm that integrates the strengths of both low Earth-orbiting (LEO) and geostationary Earth-orbiting (GEO) satellite information has been developed. The Lagrangian Model (LMODEL) algorithm combines a 2D cloud-advection tracking system and a GEO data–driven cloud development and rainfall generation model with procedures to update model parameters an...
