Abstract We evaluate the capability of 21 models from new state-of-the-art Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 6 (CMIP6) in representation present-day precipitation characteristics and extremes along with their statistics simulating daily during West African Monsoon (WAM) period (June–September). The study uses a set standard extreme indices as defined by Expert Team on Climate Change ...

A precipitação é uma variável de grande importância para a compreensão do clima em diferentes escalas espaciais como, por exemplo, regional e global. Se os modelos climáticos conseguem reproduzir variabilidade espacial temporal da precipitação, se tem confiabilidade o uso deles estudos futuro. Portanto, este estudo como objetivo avaliar performance 50 globais Coupled Model Intercomparison Proje...

Precipitation is one of the crucial variables in hydrological and water resources studies. Runoff, soil moisture, groundwater recharge, other change with amount precipitation a region. Thus, accurate estimation major issue field modeling. Most studies management decisions Iran are established using situ observation precipitation. However, due to limited spatial distribution lack long-term high-...

Satellites play a major role in the determination of the rainfall at sea. Researchers at Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) have been involved in two projects addressing this task. First they have been instrumental in developing techniques to retrieve rain rate information from the 10+ years of dual-frequency altimeter data. The TOPEX radar measures rainfall via the attenuation it causes, pr...

Until 1979, the evidence linking El Niño with changes in rainfall around the world came from rain gauges measuring precipitation over land and a handful of islands. Before the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) in November 1997, the remote sensing evidence gathered since 1979 was confined to ocean rainfall because of the very poor sensitivity of the instruments over land. ...
