EVALUATING THE INTEGRATED MULTI-SATELLITE RETRIEVAL FOR GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MEASUREMENT (IMERG) SATELLITE DATA FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN FOUR RIVER BASINS OF WEST AFRICA

International Journal of Earth Design and Innovation Research
Precipitation is a crucial part of the climate system in the West Africa and has a major impact on agriculture, water resources, and economic activity. This study evaluates the Integrated Multi-satellite retrieval for global precipitation measurement (IMERG) precipitation in four river basins: Chad, Niger, Senegal, and Volta.

STREAM‐Sat: A Novel Near‐Realtime Quasi‐Global Satellite‐Only Ensemble Precipitation Dataset

Water Resources Research
Satellite‐based precipitation observations can provide near‐global coverage with high spatiotemporal resolution in near‐realtime. Their utility, however, is hindered by oftentimes large uncertainties that vary substantially in space and time.

Implications of a decrease in the precipitation area for the past and the future

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The total area with 24 hrs precipitation has shrunk by 7% between 50°S–50°N over the period 1998–2016, according to the satellite-based Tropical Rain Measurement Mission data.

THE EARTHCARE SATELLITE: The next step forward in global measurements of clouds, aerosols, precipitation and radiation.

THE EARTHCARE SATELLITE: The next step forward in global measurements of clouds, aerosols, precipitation and radiation.
The collective representation within global models of aerosol, cloud, precipitation, and their radiative properties remains unsatisfactory. They constitute the largest source of uncertainty in predictions of climatic change and hamper the ability of numerical weather prediction models to forecast high-impact weather events. The joint ESA-JAXA EarthCARE

A Global Terrestrial Precipitable Water Vapor Dataset from 2012 to 2020 Based on Microwave Radiation Imager Measurements from Three Fengyun Satellites

Abstract. A global terrestrial precipitable water vapor (PWV) dataset has been developed using observations from the MicroWave Radiation Imager (MWRI) aboard the FY-3 satellite series (FY-3B, FY-3C and FY-3D) spanning 2012 to 2020. The dataset offers twice-daily PWV records at a spatial resolution of 0.25° × 0.25°, aligned with the ascending and ...

The Potential of Precipitable Water Vapour Measurements from Global Navigation Satellite Systems in Luxembourg

, 2015
The primary objectives of this research were to investigate the potential of precipitable water vapour (PWV) estimates derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) measurements, firstly, for short-term weather forecasting based on numerical weather prediction (NWP) in Luxembourg and its surroundings and, secondly, for monitoring climate on ...
