Abstract: Efforts to validate the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) space-based rainfall products have encountered many difficulties and challenges. Of particular concern is the quality of the ground-based radar products?the ...

Abstract: This study discusses questions of estimating correlation coefficient of point rainfall as observed at two measuring stations. The focus is on issues such as sensitivity to sample size, extreme rain events, and distribution ...

Abstract: ith many operational satellite rainfall products being available for long periods, it is now possible to examine whether these products can reproduce climatologically known rainfall characteristics over large river basins ...

Abstract: Characteristics of the raindrop size distribution in seven tropical cyclones have been studied through impact-type disdrometer measurements at three different sites during the 2004?06 Atlantic hurricane seasons. One of the ...

Abstract: his study focuses on the evaluation of the NOAA?NCEP Climate Prediction Center (CPC) morphing technique (CMORPH) satellite-based rainfall product at fine space?time resolutions (1 h and 8 km). The evaluation was conducted ...

Abstract: he rain gauge network associated with the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) in southeastern Arizona provides a unique opportunity for direct comparisons of in situ measurements and satellite-based instantaneous ...

Abstract: he National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) stage IV quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) are used in many studies for intercomparisons including those for satellite QPEs. An overview of the National ...
