Precipitation in mountain regions is often highly variable and poorly observed, limiting abilities to manage water resource challenges. Here, we evaluate remote sensing and ground station-based gridded precipitation products over Nepal against weather station precipitation observations on a monthly timescale. We find that the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B-43 precipitation produc...

Precipitation is a key aspect of the climate system. In this paper, the dependability of five satellite precipitation products (TRMM [Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission] 3BV42, PERSIANN [Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks] CDR, GSMaP [Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation] RENALYSIS, CMORPH [Climate Prediction Center’s morphing techni...

Abstract This study investigates the utility of satellite-based rainfall products and performance bias correction methods in one sub-basins Upper Blue Nile Basin (Main Beles basin). Four satellite are used: Climate Prediction Center (CPC) MORPHing technique (CMORPH), Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN), Tropical Rainfall Measurin...

Several satellite precipitation estimates are becoming available globally, offering new possibilities for modeling water resources, especially in regions where data scarce. This work provides the first validation of four products, CHIRPS v2, Tamsat, Persiann CDR and TerraClimate data, a semi-arid region Essaouira city (Morocco). The from different satellites compared with ground observations 4 ...
