Utility of GSMaP Precipitation and Point Scale in Gauge Measurements for Stream Flow modelling – a Case Study in Lam River Basin, Vietnam

摘要

The benefit from integrating the information from multi-source was confirmed in the research of hydrologic processes in river basins. However, the use of satellite-based rainfall products in hydrologic stream flow modeling has been limited because of the perceived uncertainty associated with such data. In this study the authors presented the simulated streamflow from a SWAT model driven by merging rainfall between satellite and gauge-observed rainfall for the Lam River Basin. The results demonstrate the usefulness of merging rainfall data for stream flow modelling at a monthly time step.
