Accurate precipitation data at a high spatial resolution are essential for hydrological, meteorological, and ecological research at regional scales. This study presented a geostatistical downscaling-calibration procedure to derive the high spatial resolution maps of precipitation over a mountainous watershed affected by a monsoon climate. Based on the relationships between precipitation and oth...

Satellite technologies provide valuable areal precipitation datasets in alpine mountains. However, coarse resolution still limits the use of satellite hydrological and meteorological research. We evaluated different time scales magnitudes Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission 3B43 V7 (TRMM) Global Precipitation (GPM) products for regions using ground from January 2015 to June 2019 obtained 25 n...

Environmental monitoring of Earth from space has provided invaluable information for understanding land–atmosphere water and energy exchanges. However, the use of satellite-based precipitation observations in hydrologic and environmental applications is often limited by their coarse spatial resolutions. In this study, we propose a downscaling approach based on precipitation–land surface charact...

This paperwork describes a comprehensive statistical assessment of rain gauge and satellitebased monthly and annual rainfall measurements over Nigeria during the period of 2001 to 2010. Two statistical methods were empolyed for inter-comparison and validation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission TRMM 3B43 V7 rainfall product. TRMM was selected because of the recently developed algorithms ...
