THE STATUS OF SATELLITE-BASED RAINFALL ESTIMATION OVER LAND

摘要

During the past decade, substantial progress has been made in the area of rainfall estimation from space. The purpose of this paper is to provide land surface scientists with a broad overview of that progress, to highlight what is known about the performance of current rainfall estimation techniques, and to draw attention to some of the practical developments and instrument improvements anticipated during the remainder of the present decade.
