Heading Toward Launch with the Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Day-l algorithm for computing combined precipitation estimates in GPM is the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG). We plan for the period of record to encompass both the TRMM and GPM eras, and the coverage to extend to fully global ...

Land–Ocean Pathways Linking Indo‐Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Variability to Tropical Atlantic Coastal Salinity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study aims to identify and understand the drivers of interannual variability in coastal salinity in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Using a combination of satellite, in situ and reanalysis data, we show how ocean‐basin‐scale sea surface temperature gradients in the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans associated with major climate modes such ...

Assessing Aerosol Wet Removal Efficiency in Conventional and Multiscale Modeling Framework Configurations of the Community Earth System Model

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Aerosol particles play a crucial role in the global climate by absorbing and scattering radiation and influencing cloud properties. This study explores the role of resolved convection on precipitation and subsequent removal by wet deposition of aerosol in the Community Earth System Model (CESM2.1.0) by comparing two configurations with ...

Height‐Dependent Sensitivity of Cloud Scales to Surface Temperature Anomaly Observed by Active Satellites

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract As a key macrophysical property, cloud horizontal scale plays a critical role in cloud radiative effect (CRE), precipitation and convective structures. Until now, however, how cloud scales vary with surface temperature anomaly and their subsequent impacts on CRE and precipitation remains unclear.

Multiregional Satellite Precipitation Products Evaluation over Complex Terrain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An extensive evaluation of nine global-scale high-resolution satellite-based rainfall (SBR) products is performed using a minimum of 6 years (within the period of 2000-13) of reference rainfall data derived from rain gauge networks in nine mountainous ...

Refine the Uncertainty of GPM IMERG Precipitation Product Accounting for the Inherent Error From Rain Gauges Estimations

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Satellite precipitation retrieval accuracy assessment requires reliable ground validation, yet conventional approaches using rain gauges as “truth” neglect representativeness errors inherent in point‐to‐area approximations. This study uses 7,253 rain gauges (2020–2024) over the Jianghuai monsoon region to quantify these errors and reassess ...

Evaluation of Satellite-Based Rainfall Estimates in the Lower Mekong River Basin (Southeast Asia) [PDF]

open access: yes
Satellite-based precipitation is an essential tool for regional water resource applications that requires frequent observations of meteorological forcing, particularly in areas that have sparse rain gauge networks.

Escalating Extreme River Discharge Events Driven by Precipitation Changes in the Yangtze River Basin

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Extreme river discharge events (ERDEs) directly induce catastrophic floods, posing severe threats to human life and infrastructure. Understanding the precipitation patterns that precede ERDEs is critical for identifying early flood warnings. This study investigated the spatiotemporal characteristics of 3‐hourly ERDEs across the Yangtze River ...

Automated Satellite-Based Landslide Identification Product for Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes
Landslide event inventories are a vital resource for landslide susceptibility and forecasting applications. However, landslide inventories can vary in accuracy, availability, and timeliness as a result of varying detection methods, reporting, and data ...

Global Urban‐Rural Differences in Precipitation: Cities See More Light Rain But Milder Extremes

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Ample evidence has shown that cities modulate regional hydrometeorology and hydroclimatology. Because different precipitation intensities have distinct hydrological and societal impacts, with light precipitation helping to alleviate urban heat and extreme precipitation often driving flood risks, it is important to understand whether and how ...
