Comparative ground validation of IMERG and TMPA at variable spatiotemporal scales in the tropical Andes

Manz, B.; Páez-Bimos, S.; Horna, N.; Buytaert, W.; Ochoa-Tocachi, v; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Willems, B. (American Meteorological Society, 2017-09)

An initial ground validation of the Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) Day-1 product from March 2014 to August 2015 is presented for the tropical Andes. IMERG was evaluated along with the Tropical Rainfall ...

A comparative performance analysis of TRMM 3B42 (TMPA) versions 6 and 7 for hydrological applications over Andean-Amazon river basins

Zulkafli, Z.; Buytaert, W.; Onof, C.; Manz, B.; Tarnavsky, E.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Guyot, J.L. (American Meteorological Society, 2014-04)

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission 3B42 precipitation estimates are widely used in tropical regions for hydrometeorological research. Recently, version 7 of the product was released. Major revisions to the algorithm ...

A comparative analysis of TRMM-rain gauge data merging techniques at the daily time scale for distributed rainfall-runoff modeling applications

Nerini, D.; Zulkafli, Z.; Wang, L.-P.; Onof, C.; Buytaert, W.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Guyot, J.L. (American Meteorological Society, 2015-01)

This study compares two nonparametric rainfall data merging methods-the mean bias correction and double-kernel smoothing-with two geostatistical methods-kriging with external drift and Bayesian combination-for optimizing ...

A critical assessment of the JULES land surface model hydrology for humid tropical environments

Zulkafli, Z.; Buytaert, W.; Onof, C.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Guyot, J.L. (Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS), 2013-01)

Global land surface models (LSMs) such as the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) are originally developed to provide surface boundary conditions for climate models. They are increasingly used for hydrological ...

Projected increases in the annual flood pulse of the Western Amazon

Zulkafli, Z.; Buytaert, W.; Manz, B.; Rosas, C.V.; Willems, P.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Guyot, J.L.; Santini, W. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016-01)

The impact of a changing climate on the Amazon basin is a subject of intensive research because of its rich biodiversity and the significant role of rainforests in carbon cycling. Climate change has also a direct hydrological ...

High-resolution satellite-gauge merged precipitation climatologies of the tropical andes

Manz, B.; Buytaert, W.; Zulkafli, Z.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Willems, B.; Robles, L.A.; Rodríguez-Sánchez, Juan-Pablo (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-09)

Satellite precipitation products are becoming increasingly useful to complement rain gauge networks in regions where these are too sparse to capture spatial precipitation patterns, such as in the Tropical Andes. The Tropical ...

Multiregional satellite precipitation products evaluation over complex terrain

Derin, Y.; Anagnostou, E.; Berne, A.; Borga, M.; Boudevillain, Brice; Buytaert, W.; Chang, Che-Hao; Delrieu, Guy; Hong, Yang; Chia Hsu, Yung; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Manz, Bastian; Moges, Semu; Nikolopoulos, Efthymios I.; Sahlu, Dejene; Salerno, Franco; Rodríguez-Sánchez, Juan-Pablo; Vergara, Humberto J.; Yilmaz, Koray K.. (American Meteorological Society, 2016-06)

An extensive evaluation of nine global-scale high-resolution satellite-based rainfall (SBR) products is performed using a minimum of 6 years (within the period of 2000-13) of reference rainfall data derived from rain gauge ...

Evaluation of GPM-era Global Satellite Precipitation Products over Multiple Complex Terrain Regions

Derin, Y.; Anagnostou, E.; Berne, A.; Borga, M.; Boudevillain, Brice; Buytaert, W.; Chang, Che-Hao; Chen, H.; Delrieu, G; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Manz, B.; Moges, S.; Nikolopoulos, Efthymios I.; Sahlu, Dejene; Salerno, Franco; Rodríguez-Sánchez, Juan-Pablo; Vergara, Humberto J.; Yilmaz, K.K. (MDPI, 2019-12-7)

The great success of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and its successor Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) has accelerated the development of global high-resolution satellite-based precipitation products ...
