A Comparison of Various Correction and Blending Techniques for Creating an Improved Satellite-Gauge Rainfall Dataset over Australia

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Satellites offer a way of estimating rainfall away from rain gauges which can be utilised to overcome the limitations imposed by gauge density on traditional rain gauge analyses.

A daily 25 km short-latency rainfall product for data-scarce regions based on the integration of the Global Precipitation Measurement mission rainfall and multiple-satellite soil moisture products [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Rain gauges are unevenly spaced around the world with extremely low gauge density over developing countries. For instance, in some regions in Africa the gauge density is often less than one station per 10 000 km2.

Satellite rainfall monitoring

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1978
Imagery from earth‐orbiting satellites can be used to estimate rainfall from convective clouds according to researchers at NOAA. William L. Woodley and Cecilia Griffith see this as a possible method of monitoring rainfall constantly around the world.The technique, developed for estimating rainfall from convective weather systems in the tropics for NOAA'

A Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Rainfall and Drought Monitoring in the Tharparkar Region of Pakistan

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The Tharpakar desert region of Pakistan supports a population approaching two million, dependent on rain-fed agriculture as the main livelihood. The almost doubling of population in the last two decades, coupled with low and variable rainfall, makes this
