Abstract: On the basis of temporally sampled data obtained from satellites, spatial statistics of rainfall can be estimated. In this paper, the authors compare the estimated spatial statistics with their ?true? or ensemble values ...

Abstract: In this study, a comparison of the spatial patterns of high-resolution precipitation products obtained from the Climate Prediction Center?s morphing technique (CMORPH), which is a satellite-only product, and gauge-adjusted ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to assess the ability of radar-derived rainfall products to characterize the small-scale spatial variability of rainfall. The authors use independent datasets from high-quality dense ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the evaluation of 3-hourly, 0.25° ? 0.25°, satellite-based precipitation products: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42RT, the NOAA/Climate ...

Abstract: igh-resolution satellite precipitation estimates, such as the Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH), provide alternative sources of precipitation data for hydrological applications, especially in regions ...

Abstract: otivated by the field observations of fall velocity and axis ratio deviations from predicted terminal velocity and equilibrium axis ratio values, the combined effects of raindrop fall velocity and axis ratio deviations on ...

Abstract: The water resource of the Blue Nile River is of key regional importance to the northeastern African countries. However, little is known about the characteristics of the rainfall in the basin. In this paper, the authors ...

Abstract: he objective is to assess the use of the Climate Prediction Center morphing method (CMORPH) (~0.073° latitude?longitude, 30 min resolution) rainfall product as input to the physics-based fully distributed Gridded ...

Abstract: In view of the importance of tropical rainfall and the ubiquitous need for its estimates in climate modeling, the authors assess the ability of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) to ...

Abstract: This study provides an intensive evaluation of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) 1° daily (1DD) rainfall products over the Mississippi River basin, which covers 435 1° latitude ? 1° longitude grids for ...
