An instance of the (Generalized) Post Correspondence Problem is during the decision process typically reduced to one or more other instances, called its successors. In this paper we study the reduction tree of GPCP in the binary case. This entails in particular a detailed analysis of the structure of end blocks. We give an upper bound for the number of end blocks, and show that even if an insta...

Highlights of the 6th International GEWEX Science Conference and Joint GEWEX/iLEAPS Sessions Melbourne, Australia, 24–28 August 2009 See page 11 Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Version 2.1 precipitation climatology, 1979–2008, in mm/day. This combination of satellite estimates based on infrared, microwave, and sounding data, together with gauge analyses, yields a global average ...

This report of concurrent granulomatous Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (GPCP) and Mycobacterium xenopi pneumonia (MXIP) in a patient with advanced HIV disease 3-5 weeks after commencing antiretroviral therapy (ART) fits the syndrome of HIV immune reconstitution/restoration disease (IRD). It may also be a unique window into the immunology of granulomatous inflammation.

[1] The consistency of precipitation variability estimated from the multiple satellite-based observing systems is assessed. There is generally good agreement between TRMM TMI, SSM/I, GPCP and AMSRE data sets for the inter-annual variability of precipitation since 1997 but the HOAPS data set appears to overestimate the magnitude of variability. Over the tropical ocean the TRMM 3B42 data set prod...

The correspondence between five precipitation products, including CMORPH, GPCP-2, TRMM 3B43, GPCC, and ITPCAS, and ground-based measurements of precipitation were evaluated on annual, seasonal, and monthly scales during 2000-2014 in the Qinling-Daba Mountains over China, which is a significant area with vital value of climate and hydrology. Performances of the precipitation products in the rela...

How global precipitation might have changed on the interdecadal-to-multi-decadal time scales during satellite (post-1979) era is examined by means of satellite-based GPCP V2.3 monthly analysis. Comparisons with results from CMIP6 and AMIP6 are further made in terms mean change regional features change, aiming to provide not only an improved understanding effects major physical mechanisms but al...

Reliable drought monitoring requires long-term and continuous precipitation data. High resolution satellite measurements provide valuable precipitation information on a quasi-global scale. However, their short lengths of records limit their applications in drought monitoring. In addition to this limitation, long-term low resolution satellite-based gauge-adjusted data sets such as the Global Pre...

This paper presents a new rainfall estimation method, EPSAT-SG which is a frame for method design. The first implementation has been carried out to meet the requirement of the AMMA database on a West African domain. The rainfall estimation relies on two intermediate products: a rainfall probability and a rainfall potential intensity. The first one is computed from MSG/SEVIRI by a feed forward n...
