The evaluation and downscaling‐calibration of IMERG precipitation products at sub‐daily scales over a metropolitan region

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2023
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Integrated Multi‐satellitE Retrievals for GPM products (i.e., IMERG) provide new‐generation satellite precipitation measurements.

An Optimized Parameterization of Sub‐Grid Scale Advection for Convection Permitting Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Convection‐permitting models (CPMs) explicitly resolve deep convection yet under‐resolve the organized lateral exchanges among drafts and their environment that control entrainment/detrainment, precipitation efficiency, and mesoscale structure.

Improving an Extreme Rainfall Detection System with GPM IMERG data [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
Many studies have shown a growing trend in terms of frequency and severity of extreme events. As never before, having tools capable to monitor the amount of rain that reaches the Earth’s surface has become a key point for the identification of areas potentially affected by floods.

Urban Rainfall Island Detection Remains Uncertain: A Global Sensitivity Analysis Across Data Sets and Methods

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Urbanization can enhance local precipitation through thermodynamic and dynamic effects, yet detection of the urban rainfall island (URI) effect remains uncertain at the global scale because results vary across data sets, methods, and spatiotemporal resolutions.

Assessment of IMERG precipitation over Taiwan at multiple timescales

Atmospheric Research, 2018
<p>Since March 2014, the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) has provided satellite precipitation estimates across the globe. Using gridded surface precipitation data derived from local rain gauges as a reference, this study evaluated the performance of IMERG in depicting ...

The Untapped Hydropower Potential of World's Cities

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Many large cities around the world experience frequent power outages and yet have an abundance of tall buildings and experience rainfall. This represents a unique and scalable opportunity for cities to capture the intermittent rainwater at high elevation and convert the potential energy into electricity for rechargeable batteries at street ...

Meteorological drought using the Precipitation Condition Index in dry northeast Mexico during the 2000-2023 period

Revista de Teledetección
Northeast Mexico is well known for having dry climate; nevertheless, agriculture and livestock stand among the top economic activities of the state. For the last 24 years, Tamaulipas has been struck by numerous meteorological droughts which have caused ...

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

Journal 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 ...

From Rainfall to Rumors: Interpreting the 2024 Bangladesh Floods Through Numbers, Narratives, and Information Gaps

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract When severe floods struck southeastern Bangladesh in August 2024, competing explanations emerged. Meteorological analysis revealed that extreme precipitation was exacerbated by the Madden‐Julian Oscillation and jet stream dynamics. However, alternative narratives proliferated on social media, particularly claims that India deliberately ...

Climatology and Trends in Spatial Scales of Extreme Precipitation Over Land in the Contiguous US

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Extreme precipitation (EP) poses a severe risk under a changing climate. Here we use daily gridded precipitation data (1980–2024) and a connected‐component labeling algorithm to characterize the climatology and regional trends of daily EP spatial scale over land in the contiguous United States (US).
