Accounting for Uncertainties of the TRMM Satellite Estimates
Recent advances in the field of remote sensing have led to an increase in available rainfall data on a regional and global scale. Several NASA sponsored satellite missions provide valuable precipitation data. However, the advantages of the data are limited by complications related to the indirect nature of satellite estimates. This study intends to develop a stochastic model for uncertainty ana...
متن کاملTRMM satellite rainfall data
Spatial rainfall is a key input to Distributed Hydrological Models, which is the most important limitation for the accuracy of hydrological models. Model performance and uncertainty could increase when rain gauge is sparse. Satellite-based precipitation products would be an alternative to ground-based rainfall estimates in present and 5 the foreseeable future, however, it is necessary to evalua...
متن کاملAssessing satellite-based precipitation estimates in the Southern Appalachian mountains using rain gauges and TRMM PR
A study was performed using the first full year of rain gauge records from a newly deployed network in the Southern Appalachian mountains. This is a region characterized by complex topography with orographic rainfall enhancement up to 300% over small distances (<8 km). Rain gauge observations were used to assess precipitation estimates from the Precipitation Radar (PR) on board of the TRMM sate...
متن کاملIndependent estimates of marine population connectivity are more concordant when accounting for uncertainties in larval origins
Marine larval dispersal is a complex biophysical process that depends on the effects of species biology and oceanography, leading to logistical difficulties in estimating connectivity among populations of marine animals with biphasic life cycles. To address this challenge, the application of multiple methodological approaches has been advocated, in order to increase confidence in estimates of p...
متن کاملError-Component Analysis of TRMM-Based Multi-Satellite Precipitation Estimates over Mainland China
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-Satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) products have been widely used, but their error and uncertainty characteristics over diverse climate regimes still need to be quantified. In this study, we focused on a systematic evaluation of TMPA’s error characteristics over mainland China, with an improved error-component analysis procedure. We perf...
