Temporal assessment of the GPM satellite rainfall products across extremely arid regions [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Measuring rainfall precisely is always challenging due to its high variability, particularly in arid regions. Arid regions such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), suffer from rainfall scarcity and high variability of

Passive Acoustic Detection and Measurement of Rainfall at Sea
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2002 AbstractRainfall over the ocean is one of the most important climatic parameters for both oceanic and atmospheric science. Traditional accumulation-type rain gauges are difficult to operate at sea, and so an alternate technique using underwater sound has been developed.

Errors and uncertainties in microwave link rainfall estimation explored using drop size measurements and high-resolution radar data [PDF]
, 2010 Microwave links can be used for the estimation of path-averaged rainfall by using either the path-integrated attenuation or the difference in attenuation of two signals with different frequencies and/or polarizations.

Detecting trends of extreme rainfall series in Sicily [PDF]
Advances in Geosciences, 2005 Abstract. The objective of the study is to assess the presence of linear and non linear trends in annual maximum rainfall series of different durations observed in Sicily. In particular, annual maximum rainfall series with at least 50 years of records starting from the 1920’s are selected, and for each duration (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h) the Student’s t ...

Climatology of daily rainfall semi-variance in The Netherlands [PDF]
, 2011 Rain gauges can offer high quality rainfall measurements at their locations. Networks of rain gauges can offer better insight into the space-time variability of rainfall, but they tend to be too widely spaced for accurate estimates between points.

Satellite-based high-resolution mapping of rainfall over southern Africa [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017 A spatially explicit mapping of rainfall is necessary for southern Africa for eco-climatological studies or nowcasting but accurate estimates are still a challenging task. This study presents a method to estimate hourly rainfall based on data from the
