The influence of ENSO-related changes in the Atlantic-to-Pacific freshwater budget on the North Atlantic meridional overturning is examined using the University of Victoria (UVic) Earth System Climate Model. The initial analysis of freshwater fluxes in the 50-yr NCEP–NCAR (NCEP50) reanalysis product and Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) dataset reveals that the transport of water ...

The 6-yr (1998–2003) rainfall products from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) are used to quantify the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in the eastern Pacific (defined by longitudinal averages over 90°–130°W) during boreal spring (March–April). The double-ITCZ phenomenon, represented by the occurrence of two maxima with respect to latitude in monthly mean rainfall, is observed...

Accurate and consistent rainfall observations are vital for climatological studies in support of better planning and decision making. However, estimation of accurate spatial rainfall is limited by sparse rain gauge distributions. Satellite rainfall products can thus potentially play a role in spatial rainfall estimation but their skill and uncertainties need to be under-stood across spatialtime...

Management of the freshwater resources in a sustained manner requires information and understanding surface water hydrology streamflow is key importance this nexus. This study evaluates performance eight different precipitation products (APHRODITE, CHRS CCS, CDR, CHIRPS, CPC Global, GPCC, GPCP, PERSIANN) for prediction two sub-catchments (Chirah Dhoke Pathan) data-scarce Soan River Basin (SRB) ...

The objectives were (i) to evaluate the relationship between recent climate change and extreme hydrological events and (ii) to characterize the behavior of hydrological events along the Alazeya River. The warming rate of air temperature observed at the meteorological station in Chersky was 0.0472 ◦C·year−1, and an extraordinary increase in air temperatures was observed in 2007. However, data fr...

Validation of precipitation estimates from various products is a challenging problem, since the true precipitation is unknown. However, with the increased availability of precipitation estimates from a wide range of instruments (satellite, ground-based radar, and gauge), it is now possible to apply the triple collocation (TC) technique to characterize the uncertainties in each of the products. ...

Satellite precipitation products (SPPs) have emerged as an important information source of with high spatio-temporal resolutions, great potential to improve catchment water resource management and hydrologic modelling, especially in data-sparse regions. As indirect measurement, satellite-derived accuracy is major concern. There been numerous evaluation/validation studies worldwide. However, a c...

Changes in the terrestrial total water storage (TWS) have been estimated at both global and river basin scales from Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission are still being detected its GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission. In this contribution, sixth release of GRACE-FO (RL06) level-2 products applying DDK5 (decorrelation filter) were used to detect mass variations for Nile River Basi...
