Intercomparison of satellite-based and model-based rainfall analyses [PDF]
Four satellite rain estimations based on microwave (MW), infrared (IR) or combined MW-IR techniques are compared with the BOlogna Limited Area Model (BOLAM) rain forecast for a severe weather event (8–13 November 2001) over the western Mediterranean Sea.

Global modelling of continental water storage changes : sensitivity to different climate data sets [PDF]
Since 2002, the GRACE satellite mission provides estimates of the Earth's dynamic gravity field with unprecedented accuracy. Differences between monthly gravity fields contain a clear hydrological signal due to continental water storage changes. In order
