This work analyzes high-resolution precipitation data from satellite-derived rainfall estimates over South America, especially over the Amazon Basin. The goal is to examine whether satellite-derived precipitation estimates ...

High-resolution quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) from radar and satellite combined with rain gauges is one of the most important guides for hydrological forecasts. Whereas rain gauges provide accurate measurement ...

Ground based rainfall information is hardly available in most high mountain areas ofthe world due to the remoteness and complex topography. Thus, proper understanding of spatio-temporal rainfall dynamics still remains a ...

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the monthly mean areal rainfall estimated using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B43 version 7 product over an inland area in Central Brazil. Furthermore, we ...

© 2022 by the authors.The number of natural disasters triggered by extreme events is increasing worldwide and significantly impacts modern society. Extreme rainfall is one of the most important factors contributing to these ...

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. In developing countries, an accurate representation of the spatio-temporal variability of rainfall is currently severely limited, therefore, satellite-based rainfall estimates (SREs) are promising ...

Daily precipitation concentration in the Amazon basin (AB) is characterized using concentration index (CI), which is computed from HYBAM Observed Precipitation (HOP) data set, for 1980–2009 period. The ability of four ...
