Assessing the Reliability of Satellite and Reanalysis Estimates of Rainfall in Equatorial Africa
Remote Sensing, 2021 This article examines the reliability of satellite and reanalysis estimates of rainfall in the Congo Basin and over Lake Victoria and its catchment. Nine satellite products and five reanalysis products are considered.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A combined experimental–computational framework identifies energy‐dependent laser absorptivity for NiTi in laser powder‐bed fusion, applicable to conduction and transition modes. Single‐track experiments and thermofluid smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations are coupled through inverse analysis of melt pool geometry.

Evaluation of Satellite Rainfall Estimates for Swaziland [PDF]
American Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2015 Swaziland is generally an arid country, with most rains falling during the period of October to March. The long term average annual rainfall ranges from 400 mm in the lowveld to 1,200 mm in the mountainous highveld. Raingauges have been used as reliable source of rainfall data, but the density of these ground based instruments is too low, offering poor

Spatiotemporal Interpolation of Rainfall by Combining BME Theory and Satellite Rainfall Estimates [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2015 The accurate assessment of spatiotemporal rainfall variability is a crucial and challenging task in many hydrological applications, mainly due to the lack of a sufficient number of rain gauges. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the spatiotemporal variations of annual and monthly rainfall over Fujian province in China by combining the ...

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...
