| description abstract | The focus of this study is the evaluation of the research-version Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) rainfall product at its finest spatial and temporal resolutions (3-hourly and 0.25° ? 0.25°) over the Rome, Italy, metropolitan area during the period from October 2008 to January 2009. Accurate ground reference rainfall estimates for two satellite pixels are obtained from a dense rain gauge network (22 rain gauges in one pixel and 16 in the other one). The evaluation is based on examination of time series, scatterplots, and survival functions, as well as measures of agreement and disagreement. The results of this study point to the importance of using the TRMM satellite for rainfall estimation. Suggestions in terms of minimum number of rain gauges required to estimate ground reference rainfall are also provided. | |
