Estimation of Rainfall and its Error Characteristics from Satellite Observations
Currently, rainfall retrieval over ocean from passive microwave satellite observations represents the best compromise between estimation accuracy and spatial data coverage. Infrared data is available with higher temporal frequency from geostationary satellites but the link of top-of-the-atmosphere infrared emission to near-surface rainfall is very indirect. Therefore, all algorithms have to exp...
متن کاملUncertainty Assessments of Satellite Derived Rainfall Products
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...
متن کاملSimulation of Rainfall Events and Overland Flow
We are interested in simulating overland flow on agricultural fields during rainfall events. The model considered is the shallow water system (or Saint-Venant equations) without infiltration, complemented with a friction term. In this context, we definitely have to cope with dry/wet interfaces and water inflow on dry soil. We present a simplified one-dimensional model, discretized with a well-b...
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 کاملSatellite Rainfall Prediction Techniques - A State of the Art Review
In the present world, predicting rainfall is considered to be an essential and also a challenging task. Normally, the climate and rainfall are presumed to have non-linear as well as intricate phenomena. For predicting accurate rainfall, we necessitate advanced computer modeling and simulation. When there is an enhanced understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation then...
