Satellite remote sensing of global rainfall using passive microwave radiometry

Performance of bias corrected MPEG rainfall estimate for rainfall-runoff simulation in the upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

“…Satellite observations and processing algorithms are being extensively used to produce satellite rainfall esti-mates (SREs). Satellite remote sensing has received increased attention in estimating precipitation (Aonashi et al, 2009;Barrett, 1989;Ebert and McBride, 2000;Ferriday, 1994;Hong, 2003;Huffman et al, 2007;Joyce et al, 2004;Kidd, 2001;Ochoa et al, 2014;Scofield and Kuligowski, 2003;Sorooshian et al, 2000). Very few of these studies have evaluated the satellite rainfall over Africa (Ali et al, 2005;Romilly and Gebremichael, 2011;Thorne et al, 2001;Worqlul et al, 2014).…”
