Precipitation plays a critical role in hydrometeorological studies. A predictive analysis of gridded rainfall datasets may provide a cost-effective alternative to conventional rain gauge observations. Here, our objective is to evaluate the performance of

Precipitation comparison for the CFSR, MERRA, TRMM3B42 and Combined Scheme datasets in Bolivia
AbstractAn overwhelming number of applications depend on reliable precipitation estimations. However, over complex terrain in regions such as the Andes or the southwestern Amazon, the spatial coverage of rain gauges is scarce. Two reanalysis datasets, a satellite algorithm and a scheme that combines surface observations with satellite estimations were ...

Evapotranspiration is a key process and a necessary parameter for hydrological, meteorological, and agricultural studies. However, the calculation of actual evapotranspiration is very challenging and costly. Therefore, reference evapotranspiration (ET0) calculated using meteorological data is generally preferred over actual evapotranspiration. However,

Influence of changes in observations on precipitation: A case study for the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) [PDF]
Reanalysis products often show discontinuities in the time evolution of analyzed fields, particularly for the derived variables, for example, precipitation. In the recently completed Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, a sharp increase in the global mean precipitation around 1998 has been ...
