Verification of Satellite Derived Precipitation Estimates Over Complex Terrain: A Ground Truth Analysis for Nepal
Precipitation estimates from the satellite-based Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) instrumentation play a key role in flood analysis and water resource management across many regions of the world where rain gauge data are sparsely available. Previous studies have produced conflicting …

Station-based Analysis of Variability and Change in the Nigerian Hydroclimate
… maximum and minimum air temperature and total precipitation data from 1982 through 2011 were obtained from the Nigeria Meteorological Service for 20 locations across the country. Given the limited temporal extent of the data, two popular satellite-derived precipitation products were tested for …

Understanding a high resolution regional climate model's ability in simulating tropical East Africa climate variability and change
… FEWS is a high resolution data (0.1 o ) gridded satellite-derived precipitation estimate covering the entire African continent while CRU datasets is a relatively low resolution (0.5 o ) dataset based on rain gauge monthly precipitation only; in addition , near surface temperature is also …

Coupled Air-Sea-Land Interactions: Understanding the MJO Eastward Propagation and Maritime Continent Barrier Effect
… tracking MJO events through their large-scale precipitation. Identifying individual MJO events as a physical phenomenon enables us to study the MJO and its in- teraction with the atmosphere, ocean, and land in its environment. We begin by using high- resolution coupled atmosphere-ocean model …
