Precipitation Measurement and Analysis

The next generation (NG) optical technologies will unveil certain unique features, namely ultra-high data rate, broadband multiple services, scalable bandwidth, and flexible communications for manifold end-users. Among the optical technologies, free space optical (FSO) technology is a key element to achieve free space…

Abstract. The climate modelling community has trialled a large number of metrics for evaluating the temporal performance of general circulation models (GCMs), while very little attention has been given to the assessment of their spatial performance, which is equally important. This study evaluated the performance of 3…

Abstract. Satellite-based earth observations offer great opportunities to improve spatial model predictions by means of spatial-pattern-oriented model evaluations. In this study, observed spatial patterns of actual evapotranspiration (AET) are utilised for spatial model calibration tailored to target the pattern perfo…

Abstract This paper suggests a new methodology for the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), for studying different aspects of drought events in Turkey, including intensity, frequency and identifying the spatial and temporal patterns. The classical SPI is locally defined; for instance, for monthly scale or running m…

An objective methodology that does not require any user‐defined parameter assumptions is introduced to obtain an improved soil moisture product along with associated uncertainty estimates. This new product is obtained by merging model‐, thermal infrared remote sensing‐, and microwave remote sensing‐based soil moisture…

Six spatial interpolation techniques (inverse distance weighted, global polynomial interpolation, local polynomial interpolation, completely regularized spline, kriging and cokriging with 4 sub-types) were evaluated to determine the best spatial distribution of 6 different climate parameters (solar radiation, sunshine…

Abstract Triple collocation analysis (TCA) enables estimation of error variances for three or more products that retrieve or estimate the same geophysical variable using mutually independent methods. Several statistical assumptions regarding the statistical nature of errors (e.g., mutual independence and orthogonality…

Abstract. Drought in East Africa is a recurring phenomenon with significant humanitarian impacts. Given the steep climatic gradients, topographic contrasts, general data scarcity, and, in places, political instability that characterize the region, there is a need for spatially distributed, remotely derived monitoring…
