AbstractSatellite-based and reanalysis precipitation estimates are an alternative and important supplement to rain gauge data. However, performance of China’s Fengyun (FY) satellite precipitation product and how it compares with other mainstream satellite and reanalysis precipitation products over China remain largely unknown.

Bias correction of satellite retrievals of orographic precipitation
2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021Satellite remote sensing observations at high spatial and temporal resolutions have advantages for precipitation retrievals. However, it is still challenging to produce reliable precipitation estimates over complex terrain regions. This paper proposes a deep learning framework to correct the bias associated with satellite revivals of orographic ...

The global satellite mapping of precipitation (GSMaP) project
Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005. IGARSS '05., 2005Precipitation is one of the most important parameters on the earth system, and the global distribution of precipitation and its change are essential data for modeling the water cycle, maintaining the ecosystem environment, agricultural production, improvements of the weather forecast precision, flood warning and so on.

Satellite Precipitation Algorithms for Extreme Precipitation Events
2007Floods and flash floods take a heavy toll each year in terms of both lives and property. According to the 2001 Disaster Report by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, floods accounted for over two-thirds of the 211 million people affected worldwide on average by natural disasters each year during the 1990s, and also for roughly 15 ...

The satellite imagery in the estimation of precipitations
2010 5th International Symposium On I/V Communications and Mobile Network, 2010This work concerns the rainfall estimation using the multispectral information of Meteosat satellite. We worked out a method with threshold which combines the Infrared-Visible (IR-VIS) information of Meteosat satellite. This method constitutes an alternative making it possible to simplify the classification of the clouds starting from the IR and VIS ...

Precipitation estimation with satellites and radar
Advances in Space Research, 1997Abstract Radar and satellite measurements were simultaneously used for the detailed description of the properties of precipitating clouds. Existing raindrops were detected by digitised data of an MRL-5 radar measuring at 3 and 10 cms. This information was merged with the physical characteristics of precipitating clouds retrieved from the radiance ...

Satellite Estimates of Precipitation-Induced Dissipation in the Atmosphere
Science, 2012When the Rain Comes When raindrops fall, frictional forces between the droplet and the surrounding air create a drag that limits the speed at which the raindrop can descend. This drag also dissipates some of the kinetic energy of the falling raindrops within the shear zones surrounding them and is a significant component of the ...

Retrieval of Precipitation from Satellites
1996For land areas, precipitation is one of the most important processes for the biosphere, including mankind. For the oceans, precipitation is a source for freshwater and thus an important forcing term for the thermohaline circulation. In the atmosphere, precipitation liberates latent energy, which is a main forcing term for atmospheric motions ...

Satellite estimation of precipitation over land
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 1996The availability of satellite-derived rainfall products to hydrologists and other natural scientists has increased enormously in the last five years. The purpose of this paper is to review concisely the current state-of-the-art of satellite precipitation estimation over land and the availability of standard products, and to highlight some of the ...
