Validation of IMERG precipitation in Africa

Understanding of hydroclimatic processes in Africa has been hindered by the lack of in situ precipitation measurements. Satellite-based observations, in particular, the TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) have been pivotal to filling this void. The recently released Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) project...

Observation of storm rainfall for flash-flood forecasting Volume 2 - Satellite structured algorithm system (SAS)

This report summarizes the work done by the meteorological team of the TU Dresden within the FLOODsite Task 15 “Radar and satellite observation of storm rainfall”. The aim of this Task was the development of a radar and satellite Structured Algorithm System (SAS) for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) at the space and timescales of...
